The Supremes was an American female singing group and the premier act of Motown Records during the 1960s. Originally founded as the Primettes in Detroit, Michigan, in 1959, the Supremes' repertoire included doo-wop, pop, soul, Broadway show tunes, psychedelic soul, and disco. They were the most commercially successful of Motown's acts and are, to date, America's most successful vocal group with 12 number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100.

Just keep your head above water
You gotta work yourself to death 
And you ask yourself "Why high?"
'Cause you're never seemed to get ahead
But don't be like the lone ranger
As the same every lining
Things won't get any better
Unless we'll keep on trying

'Cause it's alright (it's alright, ooh-ooh)
To give out sometimes
Don't ever give up (don't you ever give up)
Oh-oh, it's alright (it's alright)
Hey, to give out sometimes
Don't ever give up
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoa, whoa

Sometimes things can happen
That's beyond on your control
One thing after another
You're going deeper in the hole
Nothing never comes easy
Giving up to get a job
Make your problems head on
Keep believing in yourself

'Cause it's alright (it's alright)
Hey, to give out sometimes
Don't you ever give up (don't you ever give up)
Whoa, oh, it's alright (it's alright)
Oh, to give out sometimes
Don't ever give up

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, it's alright (it's alright)
Hey, to give out sometimes
Don't you ever give up (don't you ever give up)
Oh, oh, oh, it's alright 
Hey, to give out sometimes
Don't you ever give up (da-da, da-da, da, da, da)
Mm, it's alright (it's alright)
To give out sometimes
Don't ever give up (gotta get it together)
No, no, no, it's alright
Hey, to give out sometimes
Don't you ever give up (gotta get it together)
No, no, no, it's alright (it's alright)
Hey, to give out
