(joan jett/desmond child)
I can see the sadness in your eyes
Hard knocks an' hurt are hard to hide
It can be a long an' lonely ride
But it makes ya strong inside
When you're down an' out the streets get rough
You need love but ya just don't enough
An' ya feel like no one's on your side
When you wanna throw it all away an' you've had it
Don't surrender don't surrender
Cause the fight inside your hearts
Your best defender don't surrender
Ya try so hard but ya feel just like a clown
An' there ain't enough luck to go around
All your dreams they crash right to the ground
You wanna get right outta town
You can say "what the hell i've given up lay down to die" but it's just a bluff
Cause ya know there's no place left to hide
Sometimes life seems like a war an' you're surrounded
Don't surrender don't surrender
Cause the fight inside your hearts
Your best defender don't surrender
Don't give up when ya know you right
When you're feelin all alone just remember
Don't surrender
When you wanna throw it all away an' you've had it
Don't surrender
Don't surrender
