Never My Love
Rita Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I grow tired of you
Never my love, never my love
You wonder if this heart of mine
Will lose its desire for you
Never my love, never my love
What makes you think love will end
On you
Never my love, never my love
You say you fear I'll change my mind
I won't require you
Never my love, never my love
How can you think love will end
When I've asked you to spend your whole life
With me
Never my love, never my love
Never my love, never my love
In Rita Wilson's song Never My Love, the singer expresses her unwavering love for her partner. The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the song: "You ask me if there'll come a time / When I grow tired of you / Never my love, never my love." This establishes that the singer's love is steadfast and that it will never waver or fade away. She goes on to address her partner's fears that she will change her mind or lose her desire for them, but reassures them that her love is infinite and unending.
The song also touches on the theme of dependence in a relationship, as the singer declares that her whole life depends on her partner. This can be interpreted in different ways, but it suggests a deep emotional bond between the two individuals. The singer's repeated use of the phrase "never my love" further reinforces the idea that her love is eternal and unbreakable.
Overall, Rita Wilson's Never My Love is a song about the endurance of true love. It is a declaration of devotion and commitment, and a reassurance to one's partner that their love will never fade away or diminish.
Line by Line Meaning
You ask me if there'll come a time
You're wondering if there will ever be a time when I will grow tired of you
When I grow tired of you
When my affection for you wanes or dulls
Never my love, never my love
My love for you will never falter or weaken
You wonder if this heart of mine
You ponder if my heart will lose its fondness for you
Will lose its desire for you
Will diminish its longing and passion for you
What makes you think love will end
Why do you believe that love has an end?
When you know that my whole life depends
My existence revolves around you, and you know that
On you
You are the reason for my being
You say you fear I'll change my mind
You express anxiety that my thoughts might change
I won't require you
I won't need you anymore
How can you think love will end
It's unfathomable to assume that love could come to a close
When I've asked you to spend your whole life
When I've requested that you share your entire existence with me
With me
As my partner and soulmate
Never my love, never my love
My affection for you will stay strong forever.

One of the best songs for two people who love each other beyond measure. To belong to one person in every thought of your heart and find yourself smiling at the very idea of the love they return to you. It’s a once in a lifetime. ♥️
