Lyrics Never Give Up On A Dream - Orfeh, Eric Anderson, Original Broadway Cast of Pretty Woman

Never Give Up On A Dream

Even a guy like me
(sung)
I always wanted to be a singer
People told me I was a dead ringer
For Marvin Gaye, and one of these days
I’ll be singin' at the Hollywood Bowl
Oh wow, one thing led to another
Was your full-time job tryin' to cover
My assets, I had some bad debt
You know the boulevard took its toll
But I’ve still got some fire in my belly
Stand back, and don’t try to tell me
It can’t be done, 'cause son of a gun
Never give up, never give up
Never give up on a dream, now
Oh
I had a dream, believe it or not
I wanted to be a cop
Walk the beat, and keep the streets safe
For everyone
Oh, but my dream went left and I went right
Next thing you know, I’m workin' at night
Wearin' six inch heels, instead of a badge and a gun
Yeah, but you still got some cards on the table
I swear, as long as you’re able
To draw a breath, just invest
Never give up on a dream
Gotta keep your eye on the prize
The brass ring that’s just your size
No excuse, no alibis
Never give up, never give up
Never give up on a dream
Now, invite the dream, you know what I mean
You gotta seize the opportunity and go to extremes
Find your dance, now, and take your stance, now
And empower the hour of chance, now
So go chase it
Don’t you waste it
There’s a pie in the sky
I can almost taste it
Never give up on a dream (woo)
Uh, uh
A-he, a-he, a-he
Don’t fight the dream, invite the dream
Don’t fight the dream, invite the dream
Don’t fight the dream, invite the dream
Oh, woah, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, woah, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, woah, oh-oh-oh-oh
Come on (ahhh)
I’m not givin' up (hey)
You’re not givin' up
We’re never givin' up
Never give up on a dream
Still got some fire in my belly
Stand back, and don’t try to tell me
It can’t be done, 'cause son of a gun
Never give up on a dream
Kick me out in the cold, I’ll make it
Squeeze me into a mould, I’ll break it
If there’s a fork in the road, I’ll take it
Never give up, never give up, never give up
Never give up on a dream
Woah
Come on
Never give up on a dream
