Never Never
Shirley Bassey & Groove Armada Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd like to break the chains you put around me, but I know I never
Will
You stay away and all I do is wonder why the hell I wait for you
But when did common sense prevail for lovers when we know it never
Will
Impossible to live with you, but I know, I could never live without
You
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
You never treat me like you should, so what's the good of loving as I
Do
Although you always laugh at love, nothing else would be good enough
For you
Impossible to live with you, but I know, I could never live without
You
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
You make me laugh, you make me cry, you make me live, you make me die,
For you
You make me sing, you make me sad, you make me glad, you make me mad,
For you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
I'd like to run away from you ,but if you never found me I would die
I'd like to break the chains you put around me, but I know I never will
You stay away and all I do is wonder why the hell I wait for you
But when did common sense prevail for lovers when we know it never will
Impossible to live with you, but I know, I could never live without you
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
You never treat me like you should, so what's the good of loving as I do?
Although you always laugh at love, nothing else would be good enough for you
Impossible to live with you, but I know, I could never live without you
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
You make me laugh, you make me cry, you make me live, you make me die, for you
You make me sing, you make me sad, you make me glad, you make me mad, for you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
The lyrics of Never Never Never by Shirley Bassey and Groove Armada express a conflicted desire for someone who is impossible to live with and doesn't treat the singer the way they should, but who they cannot help but want. The lyrics reveal a sense of frustration and helplessness, as the singer acknowledges that common sense does not prevail when it comes to love. The repeated refrain, "I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you" underscores the singer's profound ambivalence: they are simultaneously committed to and repelled by the object of their affections.
Throughout the song, the singer chronicles the ways in which this person makes them feel, from laughter to sadness to anger. The refrain "you make me live, you make me die, for you" encapsulates the intensity of the emotions at stake. The song's honesty about the difficulty of loving someone who is not always lovable, and the accompanying sense of emotional turmoil, resonates with listeners who have experienced similar situations.
Overall, Never Never Never offers a complex and nuanced portrayal of love, one that is neither entirely positive nor negative. Instead, it acknowledges the complicated reality of relationships and the ways in which they can challenge us to confront our deepest desires and fears.
