"Don't Give Up on Me, Baby" is an Emily Saliers song, which was
probably written in 1986. They performed it live for WRFG's "What
the Folk" radio show in that year, and that performance was later
released on the 1987 album "Don't Eat Out of Dented Cans." It's a
cute little song, which reminds me a lot of "Crazy Game." In fact,
Emily plays the sole guitar part on this song, too.
Don't Give Up on Me, Baby
Don't, don't give up on me, baby
Though we've seen shaky times
There's still solid ground to be found
I said, don't, don't give up on me, baby
Though I may seem strong
It's only because you're around.
You know me better than I do
You know how things go to my head
I said a few things to you
Things that were better left unsaid
But don't, don't give up on me, baby
'Cause you know I love you, and I always, always will.
Now, love, love's a sweet kind of pain
It can give you wings to fly
Then it drags you on down
But, darling, I'll never love this way again, no
You're the sweetest, sweetest, sweetest love
I've ever found.
You know me better than I do
You know how things go to my head
I said a few things to you
Things that were better left unsaid
But don't, don't give up on me, baby, no
'Cause I love you, and I always, I always will.
