I Might Never Give Up

I MIGHT NEVER GIVE UP
(… and that’s why I wrote the book)

I met this girl
And she had this 3-way wrist radio
(you mean a 2-way wrist radio)
You know?
Like the kind Dick Tracy used

So, I remember longer days
And coffee shops with plastic trays
All huddled in above the rain
And hoping that you’d come again
Where simple conversations pass
Like pouring blessings in your glass
But as the lunch crowd moves away
I think of reasons why I’ll stay
For every memory that you took
That’s why I wrote the book

Everybody want a deeper love
Everybody want a beeper love
Everybody want their self intact
Everybody want their self, in fact

Aw c’mon, lick it…
what it was is …
Over 50% off the cover price…
… and that’s why I wrote the book

Maybe I’ll never give up
Maybe I’ll never give up

So, I remember longer days
And coffee shops with plastic trays
All huddled in above the rain
And hoping that you’d come again
Where simple conversations pass
Like pouring blessings in your glass
For every memory that you took
That’s why I wrote the book

Everybody want …
Aw c’mon, lick it…
what it was is …
The litigants for our next case are
on their way into the courtroom …
… and that’s why I wrote the book
