Never give up on a good thing Remember what makes you happy (Whoa, whoa) Never give up on a good thing If love is what you got, you've got a lot Money's tight, he's workin' every night It ain't easy to keep the flame alive And when he finally comes home to ya He's just too tired to do the things you want to You can't help but wonder to yourself How would it be with someone else Just keep in mind, every storm ends in time Love is forever, stay together (Stay together) When you got something real (Love forever) That you may never feel again [Chorus:] Never give up on a good thing Remember what makes you happy (Whoa, whoa) Never give up on a good thing If love is what you got, you've got a lot Now you're the man, you've got to understand She don't mean to make a scene Like you, she feels all the weight you're under And when she breaks, is it any wonder I know sometimes it crosses your mind To get on out and stay hard to find Before you try, you'd better look in her eyes Love is forever, stay together (Stay together) You've got something real (Love forever) That you may never feel again (You've got a lot) (Stay together) (Love forever) You've got something real That you may never feel again [Chorus] Don't give up your good thing Don't give it, oh, don't, oh, oh Don't give up your good thing Please don't, oh, don't Don't live it up, don't give it up [Chorus x2] Never give up on a good thing (Oh, he's all you need) Remember what makes you happy (Whoa, oh) Never give up on a good thing
