About Don't Give Up on Me

Don't Give Up on Me is a studio album by R&B/Soul singer Solomon Burke, recorded and released in 2002 on Fat Possum Records. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album. It is noteworthy for the contributions of original and previously unreleased compositions by top-rank songwriters, the effect of which placed Burke back in the public eye for a time. Guest stars are Daniel Lanois, who plays electric guitar on "Stepchild", and The Blind Boys of Alabama, who feature on backing vocals for "None of Us Are Free". "None of Us Are Free" was also featured at the end of the sixth episode ("Spin") of the second season of House. "Fast Train" was featured during the ending montage of the season three finale of The Wire. The title track, written by the team of Dan Penn and Carson Whitsett with Hoy Lindsey, gained popularity (and introduced Burke to a new generation) when it was used several times on the popular primetime teen soap opera The O. C. as one of the signature song of adult couple Sandy and Kirsten Cohen, played by Peter Gallagher and Kelly Rowan. It became a staple of Burke's live performances and has been covered by Joe Cocker, as well as Peter Gallagher, who also performed the song on The O. C. more »

If I fall short, if I don't make the grades 
If your expectations aren't met in me today 
There is always tomorrow, or tomorrow night 
Hang in there baby, sooner or later 
I know I'll get it right 

Please don't give up on me 
Oh please don't give up on me 
I know it's late, late in the game 
But my feelings, my true feelings 
Haven't changed 
Here in my heart 

I know, I know I was wrong, wrong wrong, wrong 
I'd like to make a mend for the love that I never, ever shown 
Just don't give up on me, every word is true 

I'll give you my everything, all of my love, all of my love to you 
Just don't give up on me 
Oh please, please, please, please 
Baby, don't give up on me. 

I, I don't want you to 
I know it's late, but wait, please, please, please, please 
Don't give up on me 

Oh we can make it if we try 
Oh hold on baby 
Please don't give up on me 
Oh hold on baby 
Please don't give up on me 
I know it's late, but wait 
Please, please, please please, don't give up on me
