lyrics

v.1
Sittin' on the stoop with Dawn
And she's smokin' cigarillos
Sittin' on the stoop with Dawn
And she's using her rucksack as a pillow
Rocky's passin' in the street
Stops to say "Hi gals, ain't it be-yoo-tee-ful weather!"
Hangin' on the stoop together me and Dawn
Talkin' 'bout life and love and songs and shows
And scripts and things and our careers
And men
And makin' it in New York City

CHORUS
Never give up never give up
Never never never give up never give up
Never never never give up girl

v.2
Sittin’ on the stoop with Dawn
Two Southern girls in the city
Getting' all the scoop from Dawn
How come she's so wise and warm and pretty
Al comes out the basement door
And he's fixed the boiler and Mrs.Simmon's feeling better
Hangin' on the stoop together me and Dawn
Talkin' 'bout life and love and songs and shows
And scripts and things and our careers
And men
And makin' it in New York City

v.3
Sittin' on the stoop with Dawn
Noticing the year grow older
Sittin' on the stoop with Dawn
And how her warm green loden coat enfolds her
People walkin' with their dogs
And down by the West Side highway the sky is gettin' redder
Hangin' on the stoop together me and Dawn
Talkin' 'bout life and love and songs and shows
And scripts and things and our careers
And men
And makin' it in New York City
