Never
M.M.C Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I walked across the crowded room and looked him in the eye.
He looked up to me and said would I lie to you
But he didn`t know what I know, what I`m going to do.
So go to hell now, `cause I don`t care for you.
I don`t need you, you`re a stone in my shoe.
You think i`m stupid, well i`ve got news for you.
I ain`t no cupid, and so I say to you
Never mind my never never love
Never mind my never never love
I say never mind my never never love
Never mind my never never love
How you gonna change the habit of a lifetime overnight.
You think you`re so immortal, so eternal, out of sight.
The questions I am gonna ask aren`t the ones you want to hear.
Alone inside your narrow mind, now lets get one thing clear
Unlike Sinatra you ain`t under my skin.
What can I tell ya, don`t know where to begin.
Can`t find you heart now, but who`s lookin` anyway.
Hasta Luego, adios I`m on my way.
The lyrics of “Never” by M.M.C depict a confrontation between the singer and someone who has betrayed them before. The singer has been in this situation before and is tired of the other person’s lies. The other person tries to convince the singer that they would never lie to them, but the singer already knows what the other person has done. The singer tells the other person to go to hell and leaves, indicating that they are done with the relationship. The chorus of “Never mind my never never love” reinforces that the singer is done with the other person, and that they don’t want to hear their apologies or explanations.
In the second verse, the singer questions the other person’s ability to change, and suggests that they are too narrow-minded to see the error of their ways. They also say that they have questions that the other person won’t want to hear. The singer goes on to point out that they are not affected by the other person, as they are not “under their skin” like Frank Sinatra. They end the confrontation by saying goodbye in Spanish.
