Don't Count Me Out - Charlie

Time is slipping away, I can feel it rushing past

The minutes turn into days and the days fly by so fast

All around me values change, I can’t hear what’s going on

Am I falling far behind, have I got this whole thing wrong?

But I’ve got no answers, got no clues

I can’t understand the rules

I can’t believe that we’re all fools

I question all that I’ve done, try to hold my self-respect

The little ground that I’ve won looks like slowly being wrecked

I see others fall in line, I can’t help myself but smile

How their point of view changed round oh in such a short short while

But I’m no quitter, just get that straight

I’ve come too far, it’s much too late

I’m right on line and I just won’t wait

So don’t count me out, I’m still in with a shout

I’m well known as a stayer, of that have no doubt

I’m running on strong, you’ve got it all wrong

I ain’t making no waves, I’m just cruising along

Don’t think I’ve been beat, I won’t give you that treat

You might think that I’m down, but I’m still on my feet

So don’t count me out, I’m still in with a shout

Don’t count me out …

I feel things going my way, oh my time is almost here

It may not happen today, but I’ve waited all these years

Oh, sometimes it’s been so hard watching others pass me by

But I’m still here fighting strong and I’ve made no compromise

'Cause I’m no quitter, let’s get that straight

I’ve come too far and it’s much too late

I’m still on line and I just won’t wait

So don’t count me out, I’m still in with a shout

I’m well known as a stayer, of that have no doubt

I’m running on strong, you’ve got it all wrong

I ain’t making no waves, I’m just cruising along

Don’t think I’ve been beat, I won’t give you that treat

You might think that I’m down, but I’m still on my feet

So don’t count me out, I’m still in with a shout …
