Overdrive Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say you're mine, then you turn around and walk away
You're out all night; you sleep all day
I know I'm not the best, but still you stay with me
Never gonna leave you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna hurt you
I'm out all day; I'm never home
I keep you waiting, all alone
But still you stay; unlock the door
And now I know that I ain't never gonna leave you anymore
Never gonna leave you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna hurt you
Never gonna say goodbye to you
Never gonna leave you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna hurt you
Never gonna say goodbye to you
