Never Give UpWhitney Houston

Songwriter: Johntá Austin Bryan-Michael Cox Jermaine Dupri

Till you get it right, tell 'em you will never quit
Tell 'em you will never quit until they day you get it right
Till you get it right, hold your hand to the sky
Look 'em right in the eye, tell 'em you will never quit
Until the day you get it right
Till you get it right

Tell 'em you will never quit, until the day you get it right
Till you get it right, hold your hand to the sky
Look 'em right in the eye, tell 'em you will never quit
Until the day you get it right

Single mother, two jobs, workin' her fingers to the bone
Putting her daughters mouth before her own
She's gotta do it, but she's still feeling
Like there's something deep inside that she can't leave behind

She won't let go of it, no matter how many times
She hears it over with, it's all fixed in her mind
That it's gonna get better and she won't ever
Hang her head again, break a sweat again, never again

Never, never give up, never, never give up
No matter how many times, somebody tells you it ain't working
Never, never give up, never, never give up
Hold your head tot he sky, look them right in the eyes
Tell you will never quit until the day you get it right
Never, never give up, never, never give up
Even though some days you'll have to cry
Shake it off and know that everything will be alright
As long as you never, never give up, never, never give up

College student, paying her own way
Working the club at night
Look what she go through, to stay in law school
So maybe one day, she can make her way in a man's world
And never be called just another girl

It ain't nothing like a dream you can't see
Even when the people round you don't believe
But in the twelfth round, when you're against the ropes
Here comes your last minute miracle
You've got to know to

Never, never give up, never, never give up
No matter how many times, somebody tells you it ain't working
Never, never give up, never, never give up
Hold your head tot he sky, look them right in the eyes
Tell you will never quit until the day you get it right
Never, never give up, never, never give up
Even though some days you'll have to cry
Shake it off and know that everything will be alright
As long as you never, never give up, never, never give up

The sky is the limit, for whatever you want to do
Don't let anyone tell you, it ain't possible
No matter how low you feel, keep going higher, higher
See I've been holding on, to my dreams too long
To watch it get away from me
This hand is mine to win, and I promise you that
I'll never, never give up

Never, never give up, never, never give up
No matter how many times, somebody tells you it ain't working
Never, never give up, never, never give up
Hold your head tot he sky, look them right in the eyes
Tell you will never quit until the day you get it right
Never, never give up, never, never give up
Even though some days you'll have to cry
Shake it off and know that everything will be alright
As long as you never, never give up, never, never give up

Never, never give up, never, never give up
No matter how many times, somebody tells you it ain't working
Never, never give up, never, never give up
Hold your head tot he sky, look them right in the eyes
Tell you will never quit until the day you get it right
Never, never give up, never, never give up
Even though some days you'll have to cry
Shake it off and know that everything will be alright
As long as you never, never give up, never, never give up

Whitney Houston

Known across the pop culture spectrum as the “Queen of Pop” and “The Voice” for her mezzo-soprano octave, Whitney Elizabeth Houston left an indelible impression upon pop culture. She is one of the most successful artists of all time, with more than 200 million albums sold worldwide.

Born August 9, 1963, Houston grew up singing as part of the gospel choir at her local church. She was surrounded by powerful voices in her own family (mother Cissy Houston, cousin Dionne Warwick, godmother Darlene Love, honorary aunt Aretha Franklin). After working as a model and commercial actress in the early 1980s, Whitney was discovered during a New York City nightclub performance, which led to her signing a contract with Clive Davis at Arista Records. Whitney’s first song was a duet in 1984 with Teddy Pendergrass on “Hold Me.”

She released her self-titled début album the following year, which catapulted her into superstardom as the album topped the Billboard 200 for 14 non-consecutive weeks before becoming the top-selling album of 1986, eventually achieving diamond status in the US and selling over 22 million copies worldwide. The singles “Saving All My Love For You,” “How Will I Know,” and “Greatest Love of All” topped the Billboard Hot 100 and achieved platinum status. The music video for “How Will I Know” received heavy rotation on MTV, which was uncommon for Black women at the time. She took home the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance Grammy Award for “Saving” in 1986; her performance at the Grammys of “Saving” later won her an Emmy award. She also won seven American Music Awards between 1986 and 1987.
