"Don't Give Up on Me, Baby" is an Emily Saliers song, which wasprobably written in 1986. They performed it live for WRFG's "Whatthe Folk" radio show in that year, and that performance was laterreleased on the 1987 album "Don't Eat Out of Dented Cans." It's acute little song, which reminds me a lot of "Crazy Game." In fact,Emily plays the sole guitar part on this song, too. Don't Give Up on Me, BabyDon't, don't give up on me, babyThough we've seen shaky timesThere's still solid ground to be foundI said, don't, don't give up on me, babyThough I may seem strongIt's only because you're around.You know me better than I doYou know how things go to my headI said a few things to youThings that were better left unsaidBut don't, don't give up on me, baby'Cause you know I love you, and I always, always will.Now, love, love's a sweet kind of painIt can give you wings to flyThen it drags you on downBut, darling, I'll never love this way again, noYou're the sweetest, sweetest, sweetest loveI've ever found.You know me better than I doYou know how things go to my headI said a few things to youThings that were better left unsaidBut don't, don't give up on me, baby, no'Cause I love you, and I always, I always will.
