Lyrics

Monday morning
I made it through another night
I know what you’re thinking
Did I finally see the light

Is it worth the time I spend
It will all work out in the end

Don’t give up on me baby
Don’t give up on me now
You see I know I can make it
Even if I don’t know how
I know it sounds crazy
But take a deep breath
Don’t give up on me baby
Don’t give up on me now
Don’t give up on me yet

Please don’t worry
I worry too much myself
I wish I could hurry
I wish it was all figured out

It’s taking too long I know
And I still have nothing to show

Don’t give up on me baby
Don’t give up on me now
You see I know I can make it
Even if I don’t know how
I know it sounds crazy
But take a deep breath
Don’t give up on me baby
Don’t give up on me now
Don’t give up on me yet

Take another look
I will find the missing link
Going by the book
I am closer than you think
I am really on the brink

Having made it here
I know that I can do the rest
I can’t give in to fear
Although it’s put me to the test

And when the going gets tough
I know in my heart I’m enough

Don’t give up on me baby
Don’t give up on me now
You see I know I can make it
Even if I don’t know how
I know it sounds crazy
But take a deep breath
Don’t give up on me baby
Don’t give up on me now
Don’t give up on me yet

@mandolinda I would love to hear your music for “Don’t Give Up on Me Now”!

Would you like a collaboration here? I would like a chance to make a song with your lyric.

the "monday morning" in the lyrics makes me think of, like, when there's a lover you can only see at the weekends for one reason or another, maybe because of distance or maybe that's just because that's where the relationship is at. and now it's time to talk about taking things to another level.

Great for this skirmish! Such determination that they will make it, just believe. Good one!

I love the determination bordering on desperation in the narrative voice of this lyric. Good stuff.
