Never Never
The Cheat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, you cast a spell on me
And it's crazy, my heart won't let me leave

Even though I know I have some fire burnin'
Even though I know you're broke 'cause I am hurtin'
And every time I blow a kiss goodbye, I'm learnin'
It's only until I see you callin'
Oh-whoa, no, no
Oh, no, no, no, no
I swore I, I'd never love you again
Oh, no
Oh, no, no, no, no
Baby, I swore I, I'd never love you again
I said I wouldn't do it to myself (to myself)
But you touch me like no one else
Oh, no, no
Oh, no, no, no, no
I swore I, I'd never love you again
I'd never love you again

I'd never love you again

Sorry, but I blame the chemicals
Just two bodies messed up and beautiful
Oh, oh

Even though I know I have some fire burnin'
Even though I know you're broke 'cause I am hurtin'
And every time I blow a kiss goodbye, I'm learnin' (learnin')
It's only until I see you callin'

Oh-whoa, no, no (oh)
Oh, no, no, no, no
I swore I, I'd never love you again (ooh)
Oh, no
Oh, no, no, no, no
Baby, I swore I, I'd never love you again
I said I wouldn't do it to myself (to myself)
But you touch me like no one else
Oh, no, no
Oh, no, no, no, no
I swore I, I'd never love you again
I'd never love you again

Oh-whoa, no, no
Oh, no, no, no, no
I swore I, I'd never love you again (oh-whoa)
Oh, no




Oh, no, no, no, no
Baby, I swore I, I'd never love you again

Overall Meaning

The Cheat’s song “Never Never” is about a person who is trying to resist the temptation of rekindling a past romantic relationship. Despite acknowledging that the relationship was toxic and caused them emotional pain, the person cannot resist the emotional hold that their former lover has over them. The lyric “Baby, you cast a spell on me” signifies that the person feels trapped in their emotions and unable to leave the other person alone. They know that they should move on but are struggling with their feelings towards the person. The line “Even though I know I have some fire burnin’” suggests that the person acknowledges their own sexual desire towards the other person but also knows that it's not enough to keep them in the relationship.


The chorus of “Never Never” repeatedly states that the person swore they’d never love the other person again. But the person keeps breaking their promise as their former lover can persuade them to stay with just one phone call. The lyrics imply that the two individuals have a physical connection that is caused by chemicals in their bodies. Despite acknowledging that the relationship is dysfunctional, they cannot help but be drawn back to each other.


Overall, the song speaks to the idea of toxic relationships and the struggle that one faces when trying to move on from them. The lyrics highlight how despite the emotional pain that is caused, it can often be difficult to let go of intense feelings of desire and love.

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad good-byes
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend (should've known better, yeah)
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh
Never without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay
And I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh
now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) was what I did so wrong, so wrong
That you had to leave me alone?

The funny thing is, is that this song is about cheating on someone and regretting it.
Everyone's interpretation : the romance song

Oh my gosh, me and my boyfriend kissed to this song yesterday while having a picnic. Now I'm sitting in my room, watching it and I'm like, hol up, is this guy a cheater? And welp, I got my answer. I can't believe we kissed to thisXD.

Song : sad
Melody : seductive & romantic

@user-tt2mh3bb9e

I think that the point, and also why George Michael insisted that the saxophone be prefected to create a very romantic yet sorrowful vibe.

@joshuatobanus3223

I know right haha. Been thinking about this for a long time.
