(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 youre down an out the streets get rough
You need love but ya just dont enough
An ya feel like no ones on your side
When you wanna throw it all away an youve had it
Dont surrender dont surrender
Cause the fight inside your hearts
Your best defender dont surrender
Ya try so hard but ya feel just like a clown
An there aint 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 Ive given up lay down to die but its just a bluff
Cause ya know theres no place left to hide
Sometimes life seems like a war an youre surrounded
Dont surrender dont surrender
Cause the fight inside your hearts
Your best defender dont surrender
Dont give up when ya know you right
When youre feelin all alone just remember
Dont surrender
When you wanna throw it all away an youve had it
Dont surrender
Dont surrender
