I'll Never Tell
Joss Whedon Lyrics

This is the man that I plan to entangle
Anya is talking about Xander, the man she plans to marry.

Isn't he fine?
Anya thinks that Xander looks attractive.

My claim to fame was to maim and to mangle
Anya is referring to her past as a demon and her habit of exacting revenge.

Vengeance was mine!
Anya enjoys taking revenge on others who have wronged her.

But I'm out of the biz
Anya is no longer a demon and has given up her old ways.

The name I made, I'll trade for his
Anya is willing to give up her demonic past for Xander.

The only trouble is —
Anya is about to reveal a difficult truth.

I'll never tell
Anya won't reveal Xander's secrets.

She is the one, she's such wonderful fun
Xander is talking about Anya, the woman he loves.

Such passion and grace
Xander finds Anya attractive and passionate.

Warm in the night when I'm right in her tight —

Embrace! Tight embrace!
Xander likes to hold Anya close to him.

I'll never let her go

The love we've known can only grow

She wheezes

Say "housework" and he freezes

She eats these skeazy cheeses that I can't describe

I talk, he breezes
Xander sometimes ignores what Anya says.

She doesn't know what pleases
Xander thinks that Anya doesn't understand him very well.

His penis got diseases from a Chumash tribe!
Anya is making up a ridiculous story about Xander's penis.

The vibe gets kind of scary
Anya and Xander are both worried about their relationship.

Like she thinks I'm ordinary
Xander is afraid that Anya won't be content with a normal life.

Like it's all just temporary
Anya is worried that their relationship won't last forever.

Like her toes are kind of hairy
Xander is complaining about a minor flaw of Anya's appearance.

But it's all very well
Despite their fears, Anya and Xander are still happy together.

'Cause, God knows, I'll never tell!
Anya and Xander won't reveal each other's flaws to anyone.

When things get rough, he
Anya is about to complain about Xander again.

Just hides behind his Buffy!

Now look, he's getting huffy
Anya is teasing Xander and making him angry on purpose.

'Cause he knows that I know.
Anya is aware of Xander's flaws but loves him anyway.

She clings

She's also really greedy

You're the cutest of the Scoobies

With your lips as red as rubies

And your firm, yet supple —

Tight embrace!
Xander likes to hold Anya close during a hug.

He's swell

Tell!
Their secrets are safe with each other.
