NEVER GIVE UP
(Barry Gibb / Alby Galutin (m & l) )

As sung by Barbra Streisand 1980 < Guilty >

I'm a mine of information
I'm a stranger to the cause
I've been watchin' you watchin' me, babe
But the words I had are lost.

Just wanna go down to your fire
Wanna rise up in your flames
I wanna be everything you need, babe
I'm beggin' you to stay in my heart.

A room with a view, there's only a fool there
I will never give up, never give up, never give up
I will never give up, never give up, never give up
I will follow you home, how can you turn me away.

Did you ever get hungry or thirsty
With a dream to satisfy
You don't wanna be safe from being lonely
But you're throat is kinda dry.

Did you ever get senseless or defenseless
An exception to the rule
Ain't nobody pushin' you but you're rushin' in
And I'm beggin' you to stay in my heart.

Whatever it takes to make you belong there
I will never give up, never give up, never give up
I will never give up, never give up, never give up.

Love knows no other way
Being together and hearin' you say you'll be mine
You're my world and I'll be forever yours.

(bridge)

You don't wanna be safe from bein' lonely
But you're throat is kinda dry.
Did you ever get senseless or defenseless
An exception to the rule
Ain't nobody pushin' you but you're rushin' in
And I'm beggin' you to stay in my heart.

A room with a view, there's only a fool there
I will never give up, never give up, never give up
I will never give up, never give up, never give up
I will follow you home, how can you turn me away.

I will never give up, never give up, never give up
I will never give up, never give up, never give up
Love will follow you home, how can you turn me away
I will never give up ... (fade)

Notes:

Albhy Galuten, a cowriter here and an American multi-talented 
record producer et al, was noted for creating the first 
commercial drum loop. He used it in one of the Bee Gees 
more popular disco productions in 1977,   (Stayin' Alive).

The other cowriter, Barry Gibb was one of the Bee Gees, 
a British pop music group. The 3 brothers (Barry, Maurice 
and Robin) hailed from The Isle of Man and lived in the 
British Isles until the 1950s. Only one of the original 
Bee Gees lives on today (Barry). Their astounding run of 
56 years (as of 2013) writing, producing and singing their 
own pop music creations, have resulted in sales of over 
220 million units.

Barbra Streisand is an American singer song writer who 
also acts, produces and directs films. She has won a host 
of entertainment awards too numerous to mention.
