She used to be a chancer, sparkle in the rain
Told me she needed a friend
If shes going crazy, baby's on the way
Seems like the day never ends

Everybody needs some affection
Never shines, gotta try
Wherever your going

Never give up on the good times, gotta believe in the love you find
Never give it up, never give it up no oh oh
Never give up on the good times, livin it up is a state of mind
Never give it up no, never give it up oh oh

Bossanova baby, heart is never soul
Shouting but he's never heard
Eyes all wide and open, streets are paved with gold
Someone come back on their word

Everybody needs some affection
Never shines, gotta try
Wherever your going

Never give up on the good times, gotta believe in the love you find
Never give it up, never give it up no oh oh
Never give up on the good times, livin it up is a state of mind
Never give it up no, never give it up oh oh

Down and dirty city, feeling outta place
Maybe you've ran outta time
Treats her like a lady, smile upon her face
Make up the last of the lines

Everybody needs some affection
Never shines, gotta try
Wherever your going

Never give up on the good times, gotta believe in the love you find
Never give it up, never give it up no oh oh
Never give up on the good times, livin it up is a state of mind
Never give it up no, never give it up oh oh

Never give up on the good times, gotta believe in the love you find
Never give up on the good times, livin it up is a state of mind
Believe in the love you find
Hey now look around, pick yourself up off the ground
I said hey now look around pick yourself up off the ground
I said hey now look around pick yourself up off the ground
I said hey now look around pick yourself up off the ground

Never give up on the good times, gotta believe in the love you find
Never give up on the good times, livin it up is a state of mind
[never give it up no, never give it up oh oh]
Never give up on the good times, gotta believe in the love you find
Never give up on the good times livin it up is a state of mind
Never give up on the good times, gotta believe in the love you find
Never give up on the good times, livin it up is a state of mind
