Timbuk3 - Don't Give Up On Me lyrics

I've been a beggar; I've been a thief I've given you all kinds of grief I've been bad, but I'll make good, you'll see Oh, baby, don't give up on me You've been a prisoner for quite some time Since I coerced you into my life of crime Just one more big one and then we'll be free Oh, baby, don't give up on me Your time's not wasted, believe what I say Your big investment's gonna pay off someday They say that a monkey in the right frame of mind Given enough paper and given enough time Is bound to type Shakespeare eventually Oh, baby, don't give up on me In the school of hard knocks, I'm the cla** clown The only thing I'm good at is foolin' around But one more semester and I'll have my degree Oh, baby, don't give up on me Oh, baby, don't give up on me Oh, baby, don't give up on me
