Give Praise
Luciano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never
(Never gonna
Never gonna)
Hah haa
Never give you up
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
'Cause I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
(Never gonna)
Give you up
(Never gonna)
Let you down
(Never gonna)
Run around and desert you
(Never gonna)
Make you cry
(Never gonna)
Say goodbye
(Never gonna)
Tell a lie and hurt you
Hoo, hah haa
Hoo, hah haa
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching
But you're too shy to say it, baby
Inside we both know what's been going on
You know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
(Never gonna)
Give you up
(Never gonna)
Let you down
(Never gonna)
Run around and desert you
(Never gonna)
Make you cry
(Never gonna)
Say goodbye
(Never gonna)
Tell a lie and hurt you
Ooh
'Cause I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Yeah
(Never gonna)
Give you up
(Never gonna)
Let you down
(Never gonna)
Run around and desert you
(Never gonna)
Make you cry
(Never gonna)
Say goodbye
(Never gonna)
Tell a lie and hurt you
Never, never, never give you up
Never, never, never give you up
Never, never, never give you up
Never, never, never give you up
Never
Never give you up now, baby
Never
Never give you up now, baby
Never gonna
Never gonna




Never gonna
Never gonna

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are actually from the popular 1987 song "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley, and not Luciano's song "Give Praise". This song became a viral internet meme in the early 2000s, where people would send unsuspecting friends or acquaintances a hyperlink promising something interesting or useful, only to be redirected to the music video for "Never Gonna Give You Up". The song's lyrics are about expressing love and devotion, promising to never hurt or deceive the person being addressed. The chorus emphasizes this promise by repeating the phrase "never gonna give you up" over and over, and listing all the negative things the singer promises not to do.


Despite being famous for its meme status, "Never Gonna Give You Up" was actually a huge hit upon its initial release, reaching the top of the charts in over 20 countries. It has since become a beloved and nostalgic song for many people who grew up in the late 80s and early 90s. The song's music video has also become iconic for its use of a signature dance move called "The Rickroll", which involves Astley performing a sort of hop and arm gesture.
