lyrics

GiVE UP

I am a camel thru the needle's eye-
I am an angel born in hell-
I was the little girl who never cried-
What keeps me going could ya ever tell?

Give up -
Oh give up-
oh Give up-
oh give up-

I am a girl who loves the boy-
I am a woman with my own choice-
Listen to the caged bird singing wi.d joy-
Look at this dumb blonde with a voice-

Give up-
Oh give up-
oh Give up -
ooh give up-

Cos I’m never gonna-
cos I’m never gonna-
cos I’m never gonna-
Cos I'm never gonna

Cos I'm never-
never-
I'm never-
Cos I'm never gonna

Give up tryin to keep me down-
Give up -
oh Give up tryin to keep me down-
Give up, give up, give up -

cos I’m never gonna -
cos I’m never gonna-
cos I’m never gonna-
cos I'm never gonna

Cos I'm never-
never -
I'm never -
cos I’m never gonna -

Give up tryin to keep me down-
Give up-
Oh give up tryin to keep me down-
give up, give up, give up-

I’m so weak and you’re so strong-
You’re so right and I’m so wrong-
You try to silence me, cos you don’t like my song-
but I’ll be here when you are gone-
