Vaughan, Stevie Ray - Ain't Gone 'n' Give Up On Love Lyrics






I ain't gone 'n' give up on love
Love won't give up on me
I ain't gone 'n' give up on love
Love ain't gone 'n' give up on me
Every tear that I've cried
Only washed away the fear inside
Now I, I ain't gone 'n' give up on love

Every beat of my heart
Pounds with joy and not with pain
Every beat of my heart
Pounds with joy and not in vain
And although those are painful memories
Only brought me to my knees
I was just given up on love

Little Johnny Taylor told us so long ago
What about the midnight cryin'
Wo that cheatin' and lyin'
What about the price that will
Oh surely be paid
Those that gave up on love
Love will have it's day
I ain't givin' up on love

I ain't gone 'n' give up on love
Love won't give up on me
I ain't gone 'n' give up on love
Love won't give up on me
Every time I cry
Love just won't let me be
Won't set me free

Vaughan, Stevie Ray Ain't Gone 'n' Give Up On Love Comments
  1. A.... C....

    Stevie was definitely baptized by the Blues Guitar Saints.

  2. J.... C....

    ¿Alguien se ha dado cuenta como juega con las cápsulas al momento del solo? Jaja

  3. D.... P....

    The best there ever was or will be.

  4. E.... ....

    Why oh why did he have to leave us so early!!

    Could you imagine how much more music/concerts this man would have had under his strap!!!

    He is the one I would have loved to see in concert the most (Rage against the machines the band I’d want to see)

  5. A.... Y....

    2:32 Gareth Bale!!

  6. L.... ....

    Blues Guitar God.... died too soon ... Every time I listen to his music so powerful nobody did it better to fuse rock and blues.

  7. K.... H....

    AINT GONNA GIVE UP ON LOANA

  8. J.... M....

    Best guitar of the blues from Austin Texas master Stevie Ray Vaughan wish Stevie play other albums I'm Cryin cause it was one my favorite along Dirty Pool live from 1982 when go his first gig along Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon.

  9. J.... W....

    He was truly mindblowing there are not enough words to describe how truly great he was he was the goat love love love stevie

  10. C.... K....

    The trinity..the man, the music and guitar. No one like this man from another realm!

  11. R.... ....

    He was always so bounded with the audience, just look how his eyes lightens up when he hears the cheering 6:14

  12. R.... v....

    That little smile after the solo..... God i miss him

    R.... v....

    Bet he was looking out at a standing ovation👏👏👏👏😎

  13. S.... L....

    FANTÁSTICO.

  14. J.... S....

    The sound of that guitar says it all.

  15. c.... t....

    everyone knew he was great then....but over thirty years later with all the guitarist that has came since his passing, many good but none better technically and none with the passion. Due to age and going into the military I never saw him live but being from Austin, I was very familiar with him long before he went "national" and was considered a "local boy" here although originally from Dallas. I'm just sad I didn't appreciate the greatness to the extent I should have when he was here and sad he didn't have an opportunity to continue his life and music... still none better....

  16. C.... S....

    Stevie slayin’ it😍😘😃💙😊🤗❤️🇺🇸Feelin’ it🙏😇💞😆Lovin’ the outfit🤣😍😘

  17. J.... B....

    Stevie was a god I am sad I never got to see greatness in person no man will ever do what he did to six strings rest in peace great one

  18. S.... E....

    6:10 after that solo when the crowd cheers, he smiles knowing that it felt good.

    S.... E....

    Squawk22 V.V. Yes sir. He knew it came off just right even if the crowd didn’t catch every nuance. Cool moment

  19. J.... L....

    Best version of this song...and he seems to think so too. Love that smile. BTW...42 people think rappers are musicians. LOLOLOLOL

  25. J.... M....

    I have never heard a better guitar player than this man. Or blues singer. What we lost when he died, was killed, was taken...

  26. E.... C....

  35. P.... d....

  36. D.... A....

    Texas boy done good...IN THE FINE TEXAS TRADITION

  37. R.... G....

    I thought he was one of the best - if not THE best - guitarist in the world. I was stunned when he died! He made playing the guitar look effortless! BTW - I saw keyboardist Reese Wynans play with Joe Bonamassa's band in Buffalo a few months back. HE'S still playin' great!

  38. R.... H....

    fe 4:02 : -> Olympic Sports

  39. T.... B....

    ummm... oh my ❤️

  41. M.... M....

    Sweet Stevie Ray💯💯 we miss you guy!

  42. A.... V....

    GENIO!!

  43. R.... K....

    Saw him 1986 in munich....the best concert in my whole live...

  44. A.... M....

    I absolutely love Stevie's reaction at the 6:14 time stamp mark, so genuine and honest, a testament to the man he was!

  45. B.... C....

    This .....is the Tone ........pedal makers strive for ........guitar players put 13 gauge strings on their guitar for .......they can play the notes ........still not the same ........was always in his hands ......guy was a beast ......some have come close but close only counts in horseshoes Haha

  46. M.... M....

    BEST SONG HE SINGS WITH ALL HIS HEART!! MAN ! LOVE IT .XXX

  47. D.... L....

    IMO he was one of the top 3 of all time. My personal favorite. This performance, and the entire Capital concert, was one of his greatest total performances IMO. The outrageous chord at 0:36 blows me away every time. Most of the crowd was really ecstatic and appreciative, except for a few in row 1 who were either stunned out of their gourds at what they were hearing, or just plain out of it.

    D.... L....

    Was there scored 20row outside! Cried!!

  48. a.... ....

    Мощно!!!

  49. B.... ....

    It's an Elmore James tune, right? stunning natural talent, what a band, good god y'all,

  50. D.... W....

    SRV was the best blues guitar player ever. You can feel the emotion flowing out of the guitar.

  51. S.... B....

    NEVER GONNA GIVE UP ON LOVE STEVIE RAY IS SO WONDERFUL SO MISSED and NEVER WILL BE FORGOTTEN ♥️

  52. S.... B....

    What the fuck

  53. l.... ....

    Little Johnny Taylor 3:21

    l.... ....

    l2string ohh thats what he says!

  54. r.... m....

    Jimi Hendrix fan :) sorry Jimi

    r.... m....

    ain't a competition,idiot

  55. R.... 7....

    You feel every emotion from him on every note played. Stevie was and still the best!!!

  56. C.... P....

    26 people are jealous fools

  57. B.... M....

    Rest in ☮️ Stevie Ray 🖤💙

  58. B.... K....

    amazing

  59. L.... ....

    So healing for me to listen to I go into a trance 🎶🎸🎤❤️. As a fellow guitarist and blues lover I can say his music has brought me solace. Those lyrics I completely relate to as well.

  60. A.... C....

    Que mejor manera de ocupar la pentatonica es increible !!!😎saludos de chile

  61. B.... O....

    OMG. Never mind! LOL! This is SO cool !!

    "Ain't Gone 'n' Give Up On Love"
    I ain't gone 'n' give up on love
    Love won't give up on me
    I ain't gone 'n' give up on love
    Love ain't gone 'n' give up on me
    Every tear that I've cried
    Only washed away the fear inside
    Now I, I ain't gone 'n' give up on love

    Every beat of my heart
    Pounds with joy and not with pain
    Every beat of my heart
    Pounds with joy and not in vain
    And although those are painful memories
    Only brought me to my knees
    I was just given up on love

    Little Johnny Taylor told us so long ago
    What about the midnight cryin'
    Wo that cheatin' and lyin'
    What about the price that will
    Oh surely be paid
    Those that gave up on love
    Love will have it's day
    I ain't givin' up on love

    I ain't gone 'n' give up on love
    Love won't give up on me
    I ain't gone 'n' give up on love
    Love won't give up on me
    Every time I cry
    Love just won't let me be
    Won't set me free

    J.... L....

    Yes,what a difficult word." Love" we all need it,but so hard to handle it.yes.!!🎤🎸⚜️🎉💡👍

  63. A.... E....

    Words cant desscribe this outstanding ,i hope but i dont think there will be noone like Stevie.

  64. G.... L....

    One of the most famous bluesmen in the world

  65. J.... B....

    SRV. never disappointing. ..God sure must have wanted lessons. . Miss you Steve Ray.. .

  66. K.... J....

    He knew how to play the blues

  67. D.... i....

    the hell did just happened?

  68. A.... M....

    He plays this version of this song like a gunslinger. He never sounded better. Compare this to the studio album cut and you see what those fortunate enough to have seen Stevie live were shouting off the mountaintops. I saw him in Berkeley, CA around '85 and to this day I've never seen anyone better.

  69. M.... S....

    THERE IS SO,SO,SO MUCH PAIN & EMOTION IN THAT SONG IT'S HARD BELIEVE EVEN HARDER TO CONCEIVE THAT HE'S GONE!!

  70. M.... S....

    I'VE BEEN PLAYING SINCE I WAS 7 YEARS OLD.I HAD A.V.M WHEN I WAS 32 YEARS OLD SO I CAN'T PLAY AGAIN I AM 52YS NOW BUT SONG ALWAYS MAKES ME (CRY) RIP STEVIE!!

  71. J.... S....

    There is not a guitarist on this planets surface, past or present. That can play with the passion and soul , Stevie Ray Vaughn took the world by storm,and schooled the best of them with ease, and showed he was a humble man always, giving respect to all.
    J.S

    J.... S....

    Hello, there is a lovely very young blues player, he plays like SRV, his name is Toby Lee he is from Britain. Let me hear you in the near future. Enjoy!

    J.... S....

    This one speaks the ancient tounge ! ( The Grand Po Bah of Sound !)

  72. T.... H....

    Masterful performance. Wish SRV was still around.

    T.... H....

    Maybe he is,we have to find him.i guess.!!🎉💡👍

  73. B.... L....

    damn.....that was something! WP Stevie!

  74. M.... C....

    0:37 goosebumps

  75. b.... ....

    I have no words to describe how he gets me feeling. Feeling the feelings, intensely.

  76. j.... s....

    That smile at 6:14

  77. A.... L....

  78. W.... N....

    W.... N....

    He came to show what aliens do,and to prove that,there is a higher power.can't you hear it.? I can. Thanks!!⚜️🎉💡👍🏰

  79. W.... N....

    he made a guitar speak

  80. W.... N....

    this man was from another planet 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎼🎶🎶😥😥💓💓💓👍👍👍☝☝

  81. W.... N....

    this man played from his heart and soul 🙌🙌❤❤❤👏👏👏💝💝☝☝

  82. D.... C....

    Was this around the time he became ill and stopped drinking? He's the master; sobriety made him even better, and I'm so glad he had those last few happy years. RIP Stevie, your heart plays on.

    D.... C....

    stickinit totheman he sobered a year after this concert he went to rehab in late 86 and then started touring again in early 87

    D.... C....

    Deborah Curci. The stupid thing is that he still played with the same intensity after rehab.Who does that?!!!

    D.... C....

    @Minor snow the master of the telecaster.

    D.... C....

    SRV was at his low point with drinking and cocaine around 1985........and still played like this.

    D.... C....

    Carl Spackler Stratocaster*

  83. P.... S....

    awesome,and heartfelt

  84. D.... G....

    Мастерство исполнения классное, Спасибо :):):)

  85. C.... T....

    THANKS I NEEDED THAT!💜💜💜😎
    (check out that 'bling'-💜his style!)

  86. H.... A....

    Lord help me Jesus! If that shit don't give u the religion nothing ever will...

    H.... A....

    Henry Allen Now that's funny. Lmao. So true though.

  87. C.... N....

    if they would have had youtube back then, he would have seemed average as hell. theres no such thing as the best

    C.... N....

    derzx 479 how can you witness this and think he could Ever be concidered average? You perceptive abilities are tantamount to someone who is brain dead

    C.... N....

    Well said man disrespecting SRV like that, he would never of been average past present or future

    C.... N....

    That’s a stupid thing to say. If you can’t feel that song in your bones you’re oblivious.

    C.... N....

    derzx modified guitars You're one IGNORANT BASTURD

    C.... N....

    Stevie average? And you are.....? Never heard your music out there inspiring millions! The other bests of the blues praise him, accept him and are honored to have known and played with him. With that being said, you should now realize just how idiotic your comment really sounds!

  88. �.... ....

    Thank God for Stevie again !

  89. M.... M....

    Makes me weak in the knees!...

  90. R.... B....

    Whoa! Gives me the chills and makes me .....

  91. M.... G....

    That section from 5:00 - 5:30 (appx) shows how much emotive power can be unleashed with just a few really well played notes. Stevie was the master at making every note count.

    M.... G....

    uh no... if he didnt have the band playing with him it would be over barring and annoying as hell.. it takes the whole band not one person with guitar

    M.... G....

    Maybe try some John Lee Hooker and see what can be done with a few notes? ;)

    M.... G....

    Well isnt that kind of obvious?... I think the original comment was just someone in love with SRV.. if you love SRV you must love layton and shannon..

    M.... G....

    Matthew Greenwood awesome ear you have, and eloquently expressed. That 30 second piece just encapsulates who he is.....with a minimum of notes. Almost anyone can play those notes, but no one other than SRV can give them life like that!!!!!

    M.... G....

    That howl at 5:17-5:19 to be exact. Right on bro!

  92. S.... ....

    I love the tasty Albert King licks during the intro. Especially the train wreck style bend at 0:35

  93. L.... L....

    Stevie for ever!!

  94. a.... ....

    To my mind, heart and soul - he was the best. He was the best ever.

    I adore this song. This is much of a magnum opus as Little Wing was for Hendrix - and SRV's otherworldly skill is on display for all to see!

  95. a.... s....

    i bow down to no man.... Except s.r.motherfuckinv.

  96. Z.... A....

    OMG!!! This Guy Lays it Down , unlike no other!
