Cuomo revisited "Don't Give Me Love" in [[2014]], possibly in an attempt to find something "more like [[Weezer (The Green Album)|''Green'']]" to appease Atlantic Records A&R manager Maureen Kenny.<ref name="mrn405">[[:File:Mrn-discord-dontgiveitup.png]]</ref> This demo (now titled "Don't Give It Up") was released to fans in [[2021]] as part of the digital compilation ''[[Alone XIII: The Pacific Daydream Black Years]]''.

===Oh She Left Me There===
|-|"Don't Give It Up"=
<poem>
Oh, she left me here
She left me all alone
Oh, but I don't care
No, I don't mind at all
 
She said she loved me
She said she loved me
She said she'd turn my heart around
But up above me
But up above me
My lucky star ain't shining down
 
Oh, I'm all alone
I'm all alone, it's good
I don't need a friend
To show me Hollywood
 
Another heartbreak
Another heartbreak
Another chance for me to grow
Girl, I can take this
I'm gonna take this
I'm gonna have to let you know
 
Don't give it up
Don't give it up
Don't give it up
I have had enough
Don't give it up
Don't give it up
Don't give it up
I have had enough today
 
Oh, I'm all alone
I'm all alone, it's good
I don't need a friend
To show me Hollywood
 
Another heartbreak
Another heartbreak
Another chance for me to grow
Girl, I can take this
I'm gonna take this
I'm gonna have to let you know
 
Don't give it up
Don't give it up
Don't give it up
I have had enough
Don't give it up
Don't give it up
Don't give it up
I have had enough today
 
Another heartbreak
Another heartbreak
Another chance for me to grow
Girl, I can take this
I'm gonna take this

Don't give it up
Don't give it up

I have had enough
Don't give it up
Don't give it up
Don't give it up
I have had enough today</poem>
