[Chorus]
Baby, don’t you give up on me
You got to know you’re my inspiration
Baby, don’t you give up on me
Don’t you know you’re my only sensation?
[Verse 1]
And baby, when you hold me like this
It feels so nice
Girl, you’re all that I need
You’re all I want
Don’t give up on me, baby
Please just be strong
[Pre-Chorus]
It took a whole lotta lovin’
Kissing and a-huggin’
Oh girl, you keep me burning
Hey girl, can this really be for real?
[Chorus]
Baby, don’t you give up on me
You got to know you’re my inspiration
Baby, don’t you give up on me
Don’t you know you’re my only sensation?
[Verse 2]
When you’re calling my name
I go insane
And baby, when you look in my eyes
I’m in paradise
Girl, you’re all that I need
You’re all I want
Don’t give up on me, baby
Please, baby don’t
[Pre-Chorus]
It took a whole lotta lovin’
Kissin’ and a-huggin’
Oh, you keep me burning
Hey girl, this is really for real!
[Chorus]
Baby, don’t you give up on me
You got to know you’re my inspiration
Baby, don’t you give up on me
Don’t you know you’re my only sensation?
Baby, don’t you give up on me
You got to know you’re my inspiration
Baby, don’t you give up on me
Don’t you know you’re my only sensation?
[Breakdown]
Hold on
Don’t give up
Hold on
Don’t give up
[Bridge]
Baby, whenever you’re near me this way
And darling, I can’t find the words just to say
[Chorus]
Baby, don’t you give up on me
You got to know you’re my inspiration
Baby, don’t you give up on me
Don’t you know you’re my only sensation?

Baby, baby, don’t give up on me girl
Don’t give up on me baby
Baby, don’t you give up on me
