(Original 1981-83 Version)
Gimme a break I sure deserve it
It's time I made it to the top.
Gimme a break I'm looking forward
Get behind me pull out every stop
I want a happy ending
I'm tried of pretending
Won't let em get the best of me
Wo wo wo wo
Gimme a break! The game is survival!
Gimme a break, and plan my arrival!
Gimme a break for heaven's sake!
What happened to my piece of the cake?
Gimme a break!
Gimme a break!
Oh Gimme a break!
Gimme a Break!
Hey Gimme a Break!
------------------------------------------------------
(1983-87 Version)
Gimme a break, now I know what it takes.
I'm putting a new face on the old one
Ready for anything.
Playing with fate, not a moment too late.
I'm showing the whole world
Nothing can get me down.
Woo woo hoo!
Gimme a break,
Yeah yeah!
Gimme a break
'Cause I sure need one!
Gimme a break,
Yeah yeah!
I finally know where I belong.
Gimme a break,
Yeah yeah!
Gimme a break
'Cause I sure need one!
Gimme a break,
Yeah yeah!
I finally know where I belong.
Gimme a break!
