Never Give Up On A Dream - Orfeh, Eric Anderson, Original Broadway Cast of Pretty Woman

Even a guy like me

(sung)

I always wanted to be a singer

People told me I was a dead ringer

For Marvin Gaye, and one of these days

I’ll be singin' at the Hollywood Bowl

Oh wow, one thing led to another

Was your full-time job tryin' to cover

My assets, I had some bad debt

You know the boulevard took its toll

But I’ve still got some fire in my belly

Stand back, and don’t try to tell me

It can’t be done, 'cause son of a gun

Never give up, never give up

Never give up on a dream, now

Oh

I had a dream, believe it or not

I wanted to be a cop

Walk the beat, and keep the streets safe

For everyone

Oh, but my dream went left and I went right

Next thing you know, I’m workin' at night

Wearin' six inch heels, instead of a badge and a gun

Yeah, but you still got some cards on the table

I swear, as long as you’re able

To draw a breath, just invest

Never give up on a dream

Gotta keep your eye on the prize

The brass ring that’s just your size

No excuse, no alibis

Never give up, never give up

Never give up on a dream

Now, invite the dream, you know what I mean

You gotta seize the opportunity and go to extremes

Find your dance, now, and take your stance, now

And empower the hour of chance, now

So go chase it

Don’t you waste it

There’s a pie in the sky

I can almost taste it

Never give up on a dream (woo)

Uh, uh

A-he, a-he, a-he

Don’t fight the dream, invite the dream

Don’t fight the dream, invite the dream

Don’t fight the dream, invite the dream

Oh, woah, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, woah, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, woah, oh-oh-oh-oh

Come on (ahhh)

I’m not givin' up (hey)

You’re not givin' up

We’re never givin' up

Never give up on a dream

Still got some fire in my belly

Stand back, and don’t try to tell me

It can’t be done, 'cause son of a gun

Never give up on a dream

Kick me out in the cold, I’ll make it

Squeeze me into a mould, I’ll break it

If there’s a fork in the road, I’ll take it

Never give up, never give up, never give up

Never give up on a dream

Woah

Come on

Never give up on a dream
