Never Forget
Bebe Black Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We went and gambled our dirty money away
Our weekends were empty bottles and fills ashtrays
Our lights went out and the bulbs went astray
I still shiver whenever you look over my way

He was a late-night visitor
Left early in the morning
I'm not pretty
I'm not clever
But at night time I'm not boring
If you follow me back to the room where we slept
I can give you something you will never forget

Fourth trip to the zone
And it's only been an hour
Then you're picking up your phone
That's when your face turns sour
If you follow me back to the room where we slept
I can give you something

I can give you something you will never forget
Everybody says this ain't over yet
Follow me into the room where we slept
I'll give you something you will never forget

Sleep in my make-up in case you call me tonight
We'll move around our bedroom
Bodies tangled like a fight

He was a late-night visitor
Left early in the morning
I'm not pretty
I'm not clever
But at night time I'm not boring
If you follow me back to the room where we slept
I can give you something

I can give you something you will never forget
Everybody says this ain't over yet
Follow me into the room where we slept
I'll give you something you will never forget
Oooooh this ain't over yet
I'll give you something you will never forget
Follow me into the room where we slept
I'll give you something you will never forget

Took so long to get here
I don't wanna lose myself
As you wrap up your true love
Put my heart back on the shelf
You tie me up in hot smoke
And you lick your fingers clean
And after when you've finished
You can take the rest of me

I'll give you something you will never forget
Everybody says this ain't over yet
Follow me into the room where we slept
I'll give you something you will never forget
Oooooh this ain't over yet
I'll give you something you will never forget
Follow me into the room where we slept
I'll give you something you will never forget

I'll give you something you will never forget
Everybody says this ain't over yet
Follow me into the room where we slept
I'll give you something you will never forget
Oooooh this ain't over yet
Follow me into the room where we slept




I'll give you something you will never forget
I'll give you something you will never forget

Overall Meaning

The song "Never Forget" by Bebe Black speaks about a relationship that is based on meaningless pleasures and unspoken promises. The first verse describes how the couple spent their days, wasting time and money on gambling and drinking, while their lives were slowly falling apart. Despite their troubles, the singer still feels a strong attraction to their partner, who is depicted as a mysterious, late-night visitor who adds a sense of excitement and danger to the affair.


The second verse talks about how the couple's addiction to pleasure has taken over their lives, with the singer acknowledging that they are not the most talented or beautiful person in the world, but they have a certain allure and passion that comes out at night. The third verse shows the couple's descent into desperation and hedonism, as they indulge in drugs and other vices to escape the reality of their situation. The chorus repeats the idea that their relationship may not be over yet, and that there is still something exciting and thrilling about their connection.


Overall, the song's message is one of disillusionment and the dangers of living in the moment without thinking about the consequences. The singer is aware of how destructive their lifestyle is but finds it hard to resist the allure of their partner's promise of something unforgettable.


Line by Line Meaning

We went and gambled our dirty money away
We wasted all of our money on gambling


Our weekends were empty bottles and fills ashtrays
Our weekends were spent drinking and smoking


Our lights went out and the bulbs went astray
We were so reckless that we didn't even take care of our basic needs like changing light bulbs


I still shiver whenever you look over my way
You still make me nervous even though it's been a while since we've been together


He was a late-night visitor
He only came to see me late at night


Left early in the morning
He always left before the sun came up


I'm not pretty
I don't have conventional beauty


I'm not clever
I'm not particularly intelligent or witty


But at night time I'm not boring
I know how to keep things interesting when it's dark outside


If you follow me back to the room where we slept
If you come back to the place where we used to sleep together


I can give you something you will never forget
I can give you an experience that will stay with you forever


Fourth trip to the zone
We've been under the influence of drugs four times already


And it's only been an hour
We've only been doing this for an hour and we're already lost in time


Then you're picking up your phone
You start feeling anxious and restless


That's when your face turns sour
You start to look unhappy and disappointed


Sleep in my make-up in case you call me tonight
I'm keeping my make-up on so that I'm ready to see you at any time


We'll move around our bedroom
We'll be active and passionate in our private space


Bodies tangled like a fight
Our bodies will be intertwined and fighting for dominance


Took so long to get here
It took a lot of time and work to get to where we are now


I don't wanna lose myself
I don't want to lose who I am in this relationship


As you wrap up your true love
As you finish showing your real feelings for someone else


Put my heart back on the shelf
I'll keep my heart to myself and not get too emotional


You tie me up in hot smoke
You've got me trapped in a dangerous situation


And you lick your fingers clean
You're enjoying this situation and taking advantage of me


And after when you've finished
Once you're done using me


You can take the rest of me
You can have all of me, I'm yours to use as you please


Oooooh this ain't over yet
This relationship isn't finished yet


I'll give you something you will never forget
I'll give you an unforgettable experience


Follow me into the room where we slept
Come back to our private space with me


I'll give you something you will never forget
I'll make sure you remember this experience forever
