I ve been a beggar
I ve been a thief
I ve given you
All kinds of grief
I ve been bad
But I ll make good, you ll see
Oh, baby, don t give up on me
You ve been a prisoner
For quite some time
Since I forced you into
My life of crime
Just one more big one
And then we ll be free
Oh, baby, don t give up on me
You re time s not wasted, believe what I say
Your big investment s gonna pay off some day
They say that a monkey
In the right frame of mind
Given enough paper
And given enough time
Is bound to type Shakespeare
Eventually
Oh baby don t give up on me
In the school of hard knocks
I m the class clown
The only thing I ve good at
Is fooling around
But one more semester
And I ll have my degree
Oh, baby, don t give up on me
Oh, baby, don t give up on me
Ooo
Ooo
Ooo
Oh, baby, don t give up on me
