Richard Thompson - I'll Never Give It Up lyrics

rate me

(Richard Thompson)

I can't eat, I can't sleep

Knowing that you're on

Your midnight creep

I can't jump. I can't jive

Knowing that you want me

Dead or alive

There's no half way with you

You see red, white and blue

What holds your head on

Could use another screw

Come on, do your worst, boy

That's the way, that's the way

Hit me where it hurts, boy,

That's the way, that's the way

Puff until you burst, boy

That's the way, that's the way

But I'll Never Give It Up

I'll Never Give It Up

I'll put you in my loser file

I don't need your reptile smile

I prefer you out of range

Stare at somebody else for a change

When the sky fell in, you cried

And blackness welled inside

And how your little brain

Got twisted and fried

I don't run, I don't care

Some day we're going to

Meet somewhere

You and me will rock and roll

When you crawl out of

Your sick little hole

So give me what you got

Put your money in the pot

Let's see what you are and

What you're not

You're someone I can't help betray

Because you built me up that way
