Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
We work our bodies weary to stay alive There must be more to living than nine to five Why should we wait for some better time There may not even be a tomorrow Ain't no sense in losing your mind I'm gonna make it worth the ride Don't you know, I won't give up until I'm satisfied Don't you know, why should I stop until I'm satisfied Ignore the hesitation, that ties your hands Use your imagination, and take a chance I won't let my moment of truth pass me by I've gotta make my move now or never And if they turn me loose on this town They're gonna have to hold me down Don't you know, I won't give up until I'm satisfied Don't you know, why should I stop until I'm satisfied Yeah Oh, don't you know, ain't gonna stop until we're satisfied Don't you know, we shouldn't stop until we're satisfied Don't you know, ain't gonna stop until I'm satisfied Don't you know, we won't give up until we're satisfied
