Never
Cape Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No matter how you treat me
Never gonna give you up
So don't you think of leavin'
Girl, you treat me bad and I know why
Yeah, I've seen you runnin' around with another guy
And you think if you hurt me that I'll go away
So tell him
(Never gonna give you up)
Whisper in his ear
(No matter how you treat me)
(Never gonna give you up)
You tell him that Jerry said he'll never let you go
(So don't you think of leavin')
Hey, don't you understand
What you're doing to the man?
Do you see these tears here in my eyes?
Ain't no use in me lyin' 'cause I really cried
You think you're gonna take me and put me on the shelf
Girl, I'd rather die than see you with somebody else
So throw it out of your mind
(Never gonna give you up)
I'll never leave you
(No matter how you treat me)
Though you grieve me and deceive me, yeah
(Never gonna give you up)
(So don't you think of leavin')
Hey, don't you understand
What you're doing to the man?
My friends all say that I'm your fool
And you're using me like a carpenter uses a tool
And I know their intentions have all been good
Some of them would help me if they could
But I'll
(Never gonna give you up)
Never, never, never, never let you go
(No matter how you treat me)
No matter what you say
(Never gonna give you up)
(So don't you think of leavin')
Baby, don't you understand
That you're killing this man?
(Never gonna give you up)
Never gonna give you up
(No matter how you treat me)
No matter what you do to me, baby now
(Never gonna give you up)
(So don't you think of leavin')
Oh, never leave me
I'll be always standing around the door
(Never gonna give you up)
(No matter how you treat me)
Even though you say that honey
You don't love me
The lyrics of Cape's song "Never" are a declaration of the singer's steadfast commitment to his lover, even in the face of her mistreatment and infidelity. He vows that he will never give up on her, no matter how badly she treats him or who she sees behind his back. He acknowledges that he knows she has been unfaithful but also affirms that he has made up his mind to stay by her side for the long haul. He pleads with her to understand the pain she is causing him and insists that he will never let her go, despite the judgment of his friends who see him as a fool. The song is a classic example of the persistence and devotion often expressed in soul music and R&B ballads.

Every time I try to tell people how I feel about him, I realize again that nobody sees the vibrant beauty he possesses.
@huzi37709
You should try telling him of the vibrant beauty he posseses since I don't think even he knows of it. Good luck :)
