Lyrics
I heard from a mutual friend, you're givin' up on love,
You say you're givin' in - you can't win , and enough is enough
But I can tell by the look in your eye
You really wanna give it one more try
So grit your teeth, say your piece, take another chance
Don't give up on love,
No don't give up on love,
Spin the wheel, throw the dice, draw another card
Just don't give up on love,
No don't give up on love,
You might not win but you just can't give it up
Don't give up on love,
No don't give up on love,
Don't give up on love,
Just don't give up on love,
I heard that you went to the store
For some milk and eggs
And now, a year has gone by,
Yesterday I read
That you will wed on Saturday
And that's why, that's why I say
Don't give up on love,
Just don't give up on love,
Don't give up on love,
Don't give up on love,
Don't give up on love,
No don't give up on love,
Spin the wheel, throw the dice, draw another card
Don't give up on love,
No don't give up on love,
You might not win but you just can't give it up
Don't give up on love,
Don't give up on love,
Don't give up on love,
Don't give up on love,
Don't give up on love,
Don't give up on love,
Don't give up on love,
Don't give up on love,
I'm counting on you
I need you to
I'm counting on you not to give up
I'm counting on you
I need you to
I'm counting on you not to give up
