歌曲歌詞
英文歌詞
When you wanna do something that’s new
And it seems really, really hard to do
You feel like quitting, you feel you’re through
Well I have some advice for you
Don’t give up,keep on trying
You're gonna make it, I ain't lying
Don't give up,don’t ever quit
Try and try and you can do it, don’t give up, yeah
If you want to catch a ball
But you’re having no luck at all
The ball hits your head, it hits your nose
It hits your belly, your chin and toes
Well, try and try and try again
Keep on trying and soon then
You’ll put your hands out in the air
You’ll catch that ball, yes this I swear
Don’t give up, keep on going
You're on a boat, so keep on rowing
Don’t give up, don’t ever stop
Try and try and you’ll come out on top
Don’t give up
If you got yourself new rollerskates
You put them on and you'll feel great
Stand up, but then you fall
Don’t think you can skate at all
You get back up and then you trip
You skip and tip and slip and flip
Well, try and try and try some more
And soon you’re skating across the floor
Don’t give up, keep on moving
You’re gonna get there just keep on grooving
Don’t give up, don’t pack it in
Try and try and you will win
Don’t give up
No no no no, don’t give up
No no no no, don’t give up
No no no, don’t give up
No no, don’t give up
