From the recording Time Slips Away
Lyrics
I won’t give up
I won’t give up
I won’t look back
I won’t give in to
The monkey on my back
I can’t go on
I can’t go down
I won’t give in to
That awful evil clown
I went too far
I got off the track
It’s been to long with this
Monkey on my back
I’m coming up
I won’t fall down
I won’t give in to
That awful evil clown
I need your help
I need a rest
I’m gonna change
Put me to the test
I’ve got to breathe
Time to re-think
I got to stop
Living on the brink
I won’t give up
I won’t look back
I won’t give in to
The monkey on my back
I can’t go on
I can’t go down
I won’t give in to
That awful evil clown
I won’t stand by and just take it
I’ve got the power to shake it
No more excuses, that’s not a bluff
I’m going to beat this, I’ve had enough
I won’t trip up
I know what it takes
It’s been too long
I need a break
I won’t let go
It’s a new day
I’m staying strong
Can’t run away
I won’t give up
I won’t look back
I won’t give in to
That monkey on my back
I can’t go on
I can’t go down
I won’t give in to
That awful evil clown
I went too far
And I got off track
It’s been to long with this
Monkey on my back
I’m coming up
I can’t’ fall down
I won’t give in to
The awful evil clown
No, I won’t give in to
That awful evil clown
I just can’t give in to
That awful evil clown
