The greatest part of me
There's a funny little thing about my heart
It won't ever betray me
How could I be so careless with you
'Cause without you, what in the world would I do
Disappointed, misused, and abused
Yet strong enough to pull me through
Never again, no no
Never gonna let you down again
Never again, no no
Never gonna let you down again
If I told you once I told you a thousand times
I'm sorry for my wrongs
If I could go back in time I would be different I swear
You would never feel alone
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But your words will never hurt me
So from now on, you're number one
And I'll protect ya, you're my first priority
Never again, no no
Never gonna let you down again
Never again, no no
Never gonna let you down again
Never again, no no
Never gonna let you down again
Never again, no no
Never gonna let you down again
I don't wanna let you down again
I don't wanna
I don't wanna let you down again
I don't wanna let you down again
I don't wanna let you down again
I don't wanna
I don't wanna let you down again
I don't wanna
Never again, no no
Never gonna let you down again
Never again, no no
Never gonna let you down again
Never again, no no
Never gonna let you down again
Never again, no no
Never gonna let you down again
