Never Be The Same
Mel C & left Eye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on. Ooh, yeah.
Never be the same again.

I call you up whenever things go wrong.
You're always there. You are my shoulder to cry on.
I can't believe it took me quite so long.
To take the forbidden step.
Is this something that I might regret?

(Come on, come on)
Nothing ventured nothing gained.
(You are the one)
A lonely heart that can't be tamed.
(Come on, come on)
I'm hoping that you feel the same.
This is something that I can't forget.

I thought that we would just be friends.
Things will never be the same again.
It's just the beginning it's not the end.
Things will never be the same again.
It's not a secret anymore.
Now we've opened up the door.
Starting tonight and from now on.
We'll never, never be the same again.
Never be the same again.

Now I know that we were close before.
I'm glad I realised I need you so much more.
And I don't care what everyone will say.
It's about you and me.
And we'll never be the same again.

I thought that we would just be friends (oh yeah).
Things will never be the same again. (Never be the same again)
It's just the beginning it's not the end. (We've only just begun)
Things will never be the same again.
It's not a secret anymore.
Now we've opened up the door. (Opened up the door)
Starting tonight and from now on.
We'll never, never be the same again.
Never be the same again.

night and day.
Black beach sand to red clay.
The US to UK, NYC to LA.
From sidewalks to highways.
See it'll never be the same again.
What I'm sayin'
My mind frame never changed 'til you came rearranged.

But sometimes it seems completely forbidden.
To discover those feelings that we kept so well hidden.
Where there's no competition.
And you render my condition.
Though improbable it's not impossible.
For a love that could be unstoppable.

But wait.
A fine line's between fate and destiny.
Do you believe in the things that were just meant to be?
When you tell me the stories of your quest for me.
Picturesque is the picture you paint effortlessly.

And as our energies mix and begin to multiply.
Everyday situations, they start to simplify.
So things will never be the same between you and I.
We intertwined our life forces and now we're unified.

I thought that we would just be friends.
Things will never be the same again.
It's just the beginning it's not the end.
Things will never be the same again.
It's not a secret anymore.
Now we've opened up the door.
Starting tonight and from now on.
We'll never, never be the same again.

(Come on, come on)
Things will never be the same again.
(You are the one)
Never be the same again.
It's not a secret anymore.
We'll never be the same again.
It's not a secret anymore.
We'll never be the same again.
Never be the same again.
Never be the same again.




Never be the same again.
Never be the same again.

Overall Meaning

The song “Never Gonna Be the Same Again” by Mel C and left Eye is a beautiful ballad about taking the risk to step out of just being friends and pursuing an intimate relationship. The singer realizes that their friend has become something more than that and that they need this person in their life more than they originally thought.


The lyrics describe the fear and uncertainty that come along with taking a chance on love, but how it’s worth it in the end as it brings so much joy and meaning to one's life. The line "Is this something that I might regret?" reveals the singer's apprehensions and the line "It's not a secret anymore, now we've opened up the door" shows how they can no longer ignore the feelings they have for their friend. The verses also highlight the idea that everything will be different from this point on, as the two friends move into something deeper.


The chorus emphasizes the idea that "Things will never be the same again," which is repeated several times. The message here is that even though this shift might cause some changes, it's ultimately a positive thing. It signals a dynamic development in their relationship and leads to the personal growth they were missing before.
