Never
Boyz II Men Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come here baby
Let me talk to you
I've been watching you
And you look so, so good tonight
Words just can't express
The way that you're makin' me feel
I'm just captured by your love
And your sensuality
Let me explain

There you are, standing there
Make me want to reach out and touch you
And run my fingers through your hair
I know you gotta go
But I want you to stay
So we can get a little closer
And do things my way

Baby, you're so beautiful
And you're special too
You make me want to do things, yeah
I never thought I'd do
Like put you up in my home
Buy you fancy things
We can make lots and lots of babies
And I'll buy you a big diamond ring, ohh

Never, never go
Never go away from me
Baby, stay with me
Oh, never, never go
Never go away from me
Baby, stay with me

Breathe out, so I can breathe you in
want to know every single detail
Feel the movement of your skin
If you are to ever leave me
My heart would sho 'nuff die
So please be with me forever
And don't you ever say goodbye

Never, never go
Never go away from me
Baby, stay with me
Oh, never, never go
Never go away from me
Baby, stay with me

See you are (you are everything to me)
Can't you see baby
All of my friends think I'm crazy
Ooh, but they don't know




They don't know
A thing 'bout you and me

Overall Meaning

The song "Never" is a poignant ballad that urges individuals not to let a broken heart deter them from finding love again. The song begins by highlighting the scarcity of love and how it can make individuals apprehensive about trusting someone. The chorus repeats the message that one should never let a broken heart dissuade or hinder them from seeking love again.


The verses of the song further delve into the pain of falling in love and getting hurt. The line, “All the times he let you down, there was no love to be found,” describes the kind of disappointment one can feel when a relationship ends in heartbreak. However, the song encourages individuals to keep their hearts open, let go of their fears, and be prepared to try again.


In the second verse, the song talks about how it can be hard to open up after experiencing a heartbreak, but it is essential to do so if one wishes to find love again. The chorus repeats once more, emphasizing the importance of not giving up on love and not letting pain deter one from experiencing it.


The overarching message of the song is to remind individuals of the importance of being receptive to love, even after experiencing heartbreak. Love is not always easy and can be painful at times, but giving up on it altogether makes it even more challenging to find happiness.

In this world today
Love is scarce and far away
And your heart gets so afraid
To trust someone
All the times he let you down
There was no love to be found
Well it's not the end
There'll be time to mend
And you'll love again
Never, never let a broken heart
Take a chance for love away
Don't ever let it make you fall apart
Never, never ever let the pain
Take your need for love away
Never, no never
And I know it seems hard
Open up, let down your guards
But you owe it to your heart
To try again
Oh, comes the time
When we must change
What the past has thrown away
Don't take the blame
Don't be ashamed
Throw your fears away

Another one you love again
I know that you'll be sorry girl
Be strong before it's too late
Because forever is too long
For you to live in pain
Just don't give up
Please open up to love

I become positively emotional whenever I listen to this great ballad from the greatest boy band group of all time. Ooh, the lyrics, slow quiet storm vocals, the art, the harmony! These four guys seemed like from another planet.

Damn this song takes me back to a simpler time, recalls memories that somehow links itself to the song. Amazing how music can take you back without directly talking to you...

lichine14

Song hit different when you can relate. You keep trying, constantly being deceived by "love" and someone who "loves you."...You keep fighting and eventually you realize the person you've been fighting for is the one fighting against you...you realize you're in love alone...you pray the hurt and pain away and Pray for the strength to pick up the broken pieces.
