Lyrics

Another day well the news ain't good and it sure ain't fair
Shame my husband always liked my hair
I guess it's true sometimes it's you

Another day friends don't seem to know what to say
And the words they don't matter anyway
Just bow your head say a prayer instead

And Give It Up give in give love give everything
Look inside and find the hope your heart can bring
When the fear would break the strongest man
Give It Up and make a brand new plan Give It Up

Another day pick up the paper read the news
Funnies ain't funny well what can you do
Just fake a smile 'cause that's your style

Another day dinner to make the bills are due
When those little brown eyes are looking up at you
It's all right here your reason's clear

Just Give It Up give in give love give everything
Look inside and find the hope your heart can bring
When faith is walking out the door
That's the time you need it more just Give It Up

When the road gets long and there are days you're too tired to fight
You'll stay strong take one more step it's going to be alright

Just Give It Up give in give love give everything
Look inside and find the hope your heart can bring
So I'll look ahead 'cause I believe that I'll see you all next Christmas Eve
And in thirty years we'll smile that day as you give our baby girl away
Give It Up give in give love give everything
Give It Up give in give love give everything - everything
