I may not climb Mount Everest, win praise in others eyes
I may not win the lottery, win the Pulitzer Prize
I may not sail the ocean in a glorified canoe
But I will never, never not love you

I might not be in fashion, might not be all that smart
Might not be that good lookin', not someone set apart
Might not stand in the spotlight that shines upon the few
But I will never, never not love you

I will never not light up when I see you
I will never not feel you through and through
There are many things I may and may not do
But I will never, never not love you

I may not offer riches or make a big to-do
I may not give you many things that you're accustomed to
I may not be worthy of you, I just hope my love will do
'Cause I will never, never not love you

No matter where you are, no matter what you do
I will not be caught not loving you
May not set world records, but I can promise you
That I will never, never not love you

No, I will never, never not love you
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
(Never not love you)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Well, I may not climb Mount Everest
Or sail the ocean blue, ha
Yeah, there are many things
That I may and may not do
I may not be worthy of you
I just hope my love will do
'Cause I will never, never not love you
(Never not love you)
Mm-mm, mm-mm

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
