"From the prairie city of Saskatoon, Canada come the Sheepdogs, 4 young gentlemen who revel in the joy of rock n roll so wholeheartedly, it's downright contagious. Sporting the long-haired looks of their musical forefathers, the lads make the most of their 2 guitars, bass and drums combo. Soulful vocalizations, everybody harmonizing, old-school guitar chops winding, riffing and chiming, and a grooving rhythm section that keeps it all going. Having already cemented their reputation as dynamic performers in their hometown, the Sheepdogs now turn their attention to spreading their affection for rock n roll cross-country. They have spent the last year covering the great white north, playing from Vancouver island to Montreal. They have played festivals, headlined a bill during 2007's Junofest, opened for the likes of Matt Mays and el Torpedo, and performed before thousands at 2006's Saskatoon Centennial Celebration. In January 2007 they released their debut LP Trying to Grow, a collection of guitar-driven originals that recall classic rockers like the Stones, CCR, and the Kinks. The album's title-track was featured in a province-wide campaign in their native Saskatchewan. Early 2008 has already seen the completion of their follow-up album, which mixes elements of southern rock and moody soul with gleeful straight-forward rockers. Once again, the boys are hitting the road, spreading their rock n roll revival to the rest of Canada."

Never Gonna Get My Love
The Sheepdogs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You came here for my love but its all you do
Your all i ever wanted and i do
You came from out of sight behind (?) view
You keep looking for my love
And i feel it, and its coming on (its not easy to be alone)
Its so real and oh so strong (?)
You're never gonna get my love, you'll never get my love (2x)
And now you are digging for my love but you just weren't true
You never gave your heart out of someone new
Blew you off with the message won't go through
You keep looking for my love
And i feel it, and its coming on (its not easy to be alone)
Its so real and oh so strong (?)
Ya i feel it and its coming on, coming on
You're never gonna get my love, you'll never get my love (2x)
And i feel it, and its coming on (its not easy to be alone)
Its so real and oh so strong (?)
Ya i feel it and its coming on, coming on
you're never gonna get my love, you'll never get my love (4x)
The lyrics of the song "Never Gonna Get My Love" by The Sheepdogs talk about a person who is trying to pursue the singer for love, but the singer realizes that this person is not true and is just looking for love without really caring about their feelings. The singer is aware of the person's intentions and decides to keep their heart safe by not letting them get close to it. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been hurt in the past and is not willing to let it happen again.
The first verse talks about how the person saw through the singer's defenses and came looking for their love. The singer acknowledges that they wanted this person too, but they realize that the person is not genuine and is just looking for love for the sake of it. The second verse suggests that the person is trying too hard to win over the singer but is not really putting their heart into it. The singer sends a message to this person that their efforts won't work.
The chorus repeats the same lines, "You're never gonna get my love, you'll never get my love," which emphasizes the singer's determination to protect their heart. The singer is aware of their feelings and how real and strong they are, but they are not willing to let this person take advantage of them.
