NEVER GIVE YOU UP

Jerry Butler



Never gonna give you up

No matter how you treat me

Never gonna give you up

So don't you think of leavin

Girl, you treat me bad and I know why

Yeah, I've seen you runnin' around with another guy

And you think if you hurt me that I'll go away

Made it up in my mind that I'm here to stay

So tell em

Never gonna give you up

Whisper in his ear

No matter how you treat me

Never gonna give you up

You tell him that Jerry said he'll never let you go

So don't you think of leavin'

Hey, don't you understand

What you're doing to the man



Do you see these tears here inn my eyes

Ain't no use in my lyin'

Cause I really cried

You think you're gonna take me

And put me on the shelf

Girl, I'd rather die

Than see you with somebody else

So throw it out of your mind

I'll never leave you

Though you grieve me and deceive me, yeah

Hey, don't you understand

What you're doing to the man



My friends all say that I'm your fool

And you're using me like a carpenter uses a tool

And I know their intentions have all been good

Some of them would help me if they could

But I'll never give you up

Never, never, never, never let you go

No matter what you say

Don't you underrstand

That you're killing this man

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna give you up

No matter what you do to me, baby
