Solved: Identify this one pliz (80s/90s)

MALE VOCALIST R&B.

There you go once again
You played it out until the end
You are heading for the open door
Even though you've found
What you were looking for

Did anyone ever tell you
Didn't they tell you baby
Did anyone ever show you oh
Didn't they show you
Did anyone ever hold you
The way I do I just can't back off oh no

Never give up on a good thing
Never give up on a good thing
Somebody makes your heart say
Somebody makes your heart say no girl
Never give up for the good things
Never give up never give up never give up
Somebody makes your heart say yeah...

I did not find an exact match for your lyrics. Try the following songs:

"Never Give Up On A Good Thing" by George Benson
"Loving You" by Jennifer Lopez

Atmaster thanks for trying but it's neither George Benson nor Jennifer Lopez. I have the song on an old compact cassette, it's by a male vocalist kind of R&B.

Next wild guess is "Never Give Up" by Kool and the Gang.
Attached is a link that will let you listen to a sample of this song:

Fantastic! Atmaster you're bang on target it is "Never Give Up" by Kool and the Gang, I just confirmed it - thank you.

You're welcome!
