Lyrics Don't Give Up On Me - Timbuk 3

Don't Give Up On Me

I’ve been a beggar
I’ve been a thief
I’ve given you
All kinds of grief
I’ve been mad
But I’ll make good, you’ll see
Oh, baby, don’t give up on me
You’ve been a prisoner
For quite some time
Since I forced you into
My life of crime
Just one more big one
And then we’ll be free
Oh, baby, don’t give up on me
You’re time’s not wasted, believe what I say
Your big investment’s gonna pay off some day
They say that a monkey
In the right frame of mind
Given enough paper
And given enough time
Is bound to type Shakespeare
Eventually
Oh baby don’t give up on me
In the school of hard knocks
I’m the class clown
The only thing I’ve good at
Is fooling around
But one more semester
And I’ll have my degree
Oh, baby, don’t give up on me
Oh, baby, don’t give up on me
Ooo
Ooo
Oh, baby, don’t give up on me
Ooo
Oh, baby, don’t give up on me
