[Verse 1]
You been acting awful tough lately
Smoking a lotta cigarettes lately
But inside
You're just a little baby

[Verse 2]
It's okay to say you got a weak spot
You don't always have to be on top
Better to be hated
Than loved loved loved for what you're not

[Chorus]
Never pick up, don't hang up
Our love faded, our love faded
You never pick up anything
You don't ring ring [? wrong/rung]
Our love faded, our love faded

Never pick up, don't hang up
Our love faded, our love faded
You never pick up, don't hang up
Our love faded, our love faded

[Verse 3]
You been hanging with the unloved kids
So you're never really liked and you're never trusted
But you are so magnetic
You pick up all the pins

[Verse 4]
Never committing to anything
You don't pick up the phone when it ring ring rings
Don't be so pathetic
Just open up and sing

[Chorus]
Never pick up, don't hang up
Our love faded, our love faded
Never pick up, don't hang up
Our love faded, our love faded

Never pick up, don't hang up
Our love faded, our love faded
Never pick up, don't hang up
Our love faded, our love faded

Never pick up, don't hang up
Our love faded, our love faded
You never pick up, don't hang up
Our love faded, our love faded

[Outro]
Never pick up, don't hang up
(Never ring, ring)
(Don't pick up)
You just never pick up anything
It just ring ring rings

Never pick up, don't hang up
(Never ring, ring)
(Don't pick up)
You just never pick up anything
(Our love faded, our love faded)
It just ring ring rings

Never pick up, don't hang up
(Never ring, ring)
(Don't pick up)
You just never pick up anything
(Our love faded, our love faded)
It just ring ring rings

Never pick up, don't hang up
(Never ring, ring)
(Don't pick up)
You just never pick up anything
(Our love faded, our love faded)
It just ring ring rings

Love just rings

Love just rings

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, better known as MARINA (formerly Marina and the Diamonds), is a Welsh singer-songwriter and musician.

Growing up in Wales, England and Greece, Marina became “obsessed with becoming a singer, almost as if it was a disease.” After moving to London, it took four years before she established herself as a singer-songwriter. After several independently-released EPs, she placed second on the BBC Sound of 2010 list. In 2010, her debut album, The Family Jewels, was released to critical acclaim and chart success, eventually being certified Gold in the UK.

Her 2012 sophomore album, Electra Heart, was a concept album in which she embraced the titular persona—a vapid, blonde “straight-up pop star” who arose out of her label’s demands for a more commercial pop sound and Marina’s desire to maintain artistic integrity. It became her most successful album, debuting atop the UK, Scotland and Ireland album charts.
