Solomon Burke - Don’t Give Up On Me
So maybe you’ve been a little stressed out. Maybe your company is laying off their employees. Maybe your car needs maintenance but your montly bills and that featherweight check you bring home each week aren’t leaving you any breathing room. Maybe that bill for next semester just arrived and your state is cutting back on financial aid. You’re under all of this pressure and what do you do? You go home to your wifey, your rock, the person who has seen you knuckle deep in your nose and still loves you, and you take it all out on her. Solomon Burke will help you right those wrongs. This is my most favoritest Solomon Burke song. He begs and pleads to get his girl back like no other. In this song The King of Rock ‘N Soul lets his girlybot know that he hasn’t been bringing his A-Game. It has been the elephant in the room for awhile now and it’s time to address it. If you play this for a female and they show no emotional response, I suggest you get the hell up out of their as quick as possible. You’ve either dug yourself into too deep of a hole or you’re dating a fembot sent to assassinate you. Either way you’re not going to see any action.
Lyrics:
If I fall short
If I don’t make the grade
If you’re expectations aren’t met in me today
There’s always tomorrow, or tomorrow night
Hang in there, baby
Sooner or later I know I’ll get it right
Please don’t give up on me
Oh please don’t give up on me
I know It’s late, late in the game
But my feelings, my true feelings haven’t changed
Here in my heart I know, I know I was wrong, wrong, wrong
I’d like to make amends for the love that I’ve never ever, ever, ever shown
Just don’t give up on me, every word is true
I’ll give you my everything, all of my love,
All of my love, all of my love, love, love to you
Just don’t give up on me,
oh please, please, please don’t give up on me
I don’t want you to
I know It’s late, but wait please, please, please, please don’t give up on me
Promise, will you promise me, will you promise me
Please don’t give up on me
We can make it if we try
I’m going to hold on, hold on with me
And don’t give up on me
Oh baby don’t give up on me
Whatever you do we’ll make it though
Don’t you give up on me,
Please, please, please promise me,
Don’t give up on me
