My Lovin'
Kashiwa Jeff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No, you're never gonna get it
Never ever gonna get it (no, not this time)
No, you're never gonna get it (my love)
Never ever gonna get it

No, you're never gonna get it
Never ever gonna get it (no, not this time)
No, you're never gonna get it (my love)
Never ever gonna get it

I remember how it used to be
You never was this nice, you can't fool me
Now you talkin' like you made a change
The more you talk, the more things sound the same
What makes you think you can just walk back into her life
Without a good fight? Oh
I just sit back and watch you make a fool of yourself
Cuz you're just wasting your time, oh

No, you're never gonna get it (not this time)
Never ever gonna get it (my lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (had your chance to make a change)
Never ever gonna get it

No, you're never gonna get it (not this time)
Never ever gonna get it (my lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (had your chance to make a change)
Never ever gonna get it

Now you promise me the moon and stars
Save your breath, you won't get very far
Gave you many chances to make change
The only thing you changed was love to hate
It doesn't matter what you do or what you say
She doesn't love you, no way
Maybe next time you'll give your woman a little respect
So you won't be hearing her say, No way

No, you're never gonna get it (not this time)
Never ever gonna get it (my lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (had your chance to make a change)
Never ever gonna get it

No, you're never gonna get it (not this time)
Never ever gonna get it (my lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (had your chance to make a change)
Never ever gonna get it

No, you're never gonna get it (not this time)
Never ever gonna get it (my lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (had your chance to make a change)
Never ever gonna get it

No, you're never gonna get it (not this time)
Never ever gonna get it (my lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (had your chance to make a change)
Never ever gonna get it

Doesn't matter what you do or what you say
She don't love you, no way
Maybe next time you'll give your woman a little respect
So you won't be hearing her say, No way

(And now it's time for a breakdown)

Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it (whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa)
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never get it

No, you're never gonna get it (sweet lovin')
Never ever gonna get it (sweet lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (my lovin')
Never ever gonna get it (my lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (sweet lovin')
Never ever gonna get it (my lovin')




No, you're never gonna get it (sweet lovin')
Never ever gonna get it (my lovin')

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kashiwa Jeff's song "My Lovin'" talk about a woman who has grown tired of her partner's promises of change and wants nothing to do with him. The chorus "No, you're never gonna get it" repeats over and over, emphasizing that the woman is never going to give him another chance to win her back. She remembers how he used to be and knows that he is unlikely to change, despite his claims of transformation. The song also brings up the idea of respecting one's partner, as the woman in the song demands it and warns the man that he won't be hearing "yes" from her anytime soon.


The second verse brings in the idea of promises and follows up on the chorus by telling the man that he won't get very far with empty assurances of change. The woman has given the man many chances to make a change, but he has only turned love into hate. The lyrics suggest that words are not enough to repair damage that has already been done in a relationship and that actions speak louder than words.


Overall, Jeff's "My Lovin'" is a song that highlights the importance of respecting one's partner and making real changes rather than empty promises. It's a message that is still relevant to many people today and can serve as a reminder to both men and women that healthy relationships require work, commitment, and respect.

Best jazz show I ever attended was at the fox theater in Detroit, in the early 90s....Larry Carlton,followed by acoustic alchemy...Najee,...closing with the Rippingtons....and to boot,I was sitting in about the 7th row,when Jeff went into the crowd and played half of the song Aspen, in front of me and my date...great night.

Jeff, any influence on the first tune by the great George Coleman’s “Amsterdam After Dark?” I felt like you were channeling him! Kashiwa is one of the very best! Heck of a good guy too.
