I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me
Exposé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Havin' a good time with all your good-time friends
I don't think that you think of me
You're on your own now, and I'm alone and free
I know that I should get on with my life
But a life lived without you could never be right
As long as the stars shine down from the heavens,
Long as the rivers run to the sea,
I'll never get over you getting over me
I try to smile so the hurt won't show
Tellin' everybody I was glad to see you go
But the tears just won't go away (won't go away)
Loneliness found me, looks like it's here to stay
I know that I oughta find someone new
But all I find is myself always thinking of you
[Chorus]
Oh, no matter what I do,
Each night's a lifetime to live through
I can't go on like this
I need your touch
You're the only one I've ever loved
Oh oh ah
And as long as the stars shine down from the heavens,
Long as the rivers run to the sea,
I'll never get over you getting over me
(I'll never get over you getting over)
Never get over you getting over
I'll never get over you getting over me

I have all their CDs and Cassettes!!!!
I still have all their CDs and Cassettes!!!
I cannot find their records…all sold out, Barns and Nobel’s, Best
Buys, Target…maybe I’ll try Amazon
I had (and still have a serious crush) with each of them
even while I was attending University of San Diego.
When will they start touring again, anyone knows?

"I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me"
I hear you're taking the town again
Having a good time
With all your good time friends
I don't think that you think of me
You're on your own now
And I'm alone and free
I know that I should get on with my life
But a life lived without you could never be right
As long as the stars shine down from the heavens
Long as the rivers run to the sea
I'll never get over you getting over me
I try to smile so the hurt won't show
Tell everybody that I was glad to see you go
But the tears just won't go away (won't go away)
Loneliness found me, looks like it's here to stay
I know that I ought to find someone new
But all I find is myself always thinking of you
As long as the stars shine down from the heavens
Long as the rivers run to the sea
I'll never get over you getting over me
Oh, no matter what I do
Each night's a lifetime to live through
I can't go on like this (I need your touch)
You're the only one I ever loved, oh
And as long as the stars shine down from the heavens
Long as the rivers run to the sea
I'll never get over you getting over me
I'll never get over you getting over
Never get over you... getting over
Never get over you getting over me

Those of us that grew up in the 80's & 90's don't know how lucky we were...there will never be an era of music, that comes even close...quality of music, as well as life in general, has been on a decline ever since..80's, 90's will never be forgotten!! Greatest music, most talented musicians of all time
@jeremystevens6640
So true 😢😭❤️✌️
@luisar.3279
The best music, dancing and I feel very lucky to experience it. So safe to go out and dance the night away. Omg I wish this music comes back. Lol
@Sony_-fc2is
yesss i can feel it im so happy ❤
@rnicholasmartin1335
Have to agree although I would include the seventies as well. A lot of the Motown groups laid down the foundation for 80's bands
@theolisaacs8443
So did I grew up in the eighties and nineties to so you and your forties then early mid-forties

Diane Warren is my #1 favorite pop songwriter of all time.
@gsmeeuwsen
Diane Warren will go down in history as one of the best songwriters who's ever lived...
@SunflowerChild82
This song, right here, reminds me of being 10 yo in 1992. On a field trip in school to a Native American site in Florida. I bought a silver and amethyst bracelet that I still have to this day at almost 40 yo. Love it and thanks for the memories. I had the best childhood. Music and all. ♥️♥️♥️

"I know that I oughta find someone new,
But all I find is myself always thinking of you,"
I love these lines - Diane Warren is one heck of a songwriter. She penned several love song hits, some of which many of you may know. What's amazing to me was that she never married - where did she find all the inspiration for coming up with these songs?! Wow.
