Never
Tamar Braxton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take the time to love me
Get back to me slowly
Always in a hurry
What did I do to deserve this?
You don't ever wanna
Hold me in the morning
Taking all the covers
Never cuddle with me
You just don't know what I'm feeling
You treat me like I'm nothing
You take me for granted, you're trippin'
(Walkin' round here like I owe you somethin')
Always going out my damn way
Just to keep you happy
Well since you wanna act like that I swear you'll
Never kiss my lips again
I promise that you'll
Never feel my love again
Never again, no never
I don't think you ever
Even noticed that I'm
Always cookin' dinner
Like every single night
Tell me do you even care?
And I don't think you ever
Looked me in the eye
Tell me baby thank ya
'Cause you do a lot
I don't even know why I'm still here
You treat me like I'm nothing
You take me for granted, you're trippin'
(Walkin' round here like I owe you somethin')
Always going out my damn way
Just to keep you happy
Well since you wanna act like that I swear you'll
Never kiss my lips again
While you walkin' round here like I owe you somethin'
Never feel my love again
Never again, no never
Since you wanna act like that
Imma pack my love and I ain't coming back
And since you wanna do me this way
Imma make sure I give your love away
And since you ain't really love me
Imma find one who on
And when you're alone
Don't be blowin' up my phone because you'll
Never kiss my lips again
I promise that you'll
Never feel my love again
Never again, no never
Never kiss my lips again
Never feel my love again
Never again, no never
In Tamar Braxton's song "Never," she expresses her frustration and dissatisfaction with her partner's lack of effort and attention in their relationship. She sings about feeling unloved and taken for granted, as her partner always seems to be in a hurry and doesn't take the time to cherish her. Tamar asks what she did to deserve this treatment and wonders if her partner even cares about her efforts to cook dinner every night.
Tamar also reflects on how she's always going out of her way to keep her partner happy, yet doesn't receive the same effort in return. She feels that her partner is walking around as if she owes him something and is taking advantage of her. Therefore, Tamar decides that she's had enough and promises that her partner will never again kiss her lips or feel her love.
Overall, "Never" highlights the importance of communication and effort in a relationship, and serves as a reminder that both partners should cherish and appreciate one another.
