You ask me if there'll come a time
When I grow tired of you
Never my love
Never my love
You wonder if this heart of mine
Will lose its desire for you
Never my love, no
Never my love
Never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no
I never can say goodbye, ooh...
Even though the pain and heartache
Seem to follow me wherever I go
Though I try and try to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving
And I always have to say no
Tell me why is it so
That I never can say goodbye, no, no, no
I never can say goodbye
Every time I think I've had enough
To start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right to the core
It says turn around, you fool
You know you love her more and more
Tell me why is it so
I can't let you go, no
I never can say goodbye, no
Never, no, no, no, no, no
Ooh, no matter how much I try
Ooh, yeah, never, never
How can you think love will end
When you know that my whole life depends on you
Ooh, tell me why is it so
I can't let you go, no
I never can say goodbye, no, never
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no matter how much I try
I just can't say goodbye
No, no, ooh, ooh, no
Oh, I never can say goodbye, no, never
Ooh, uh, ooh, uh
When I grow tired of you
Never my love
Never my love
You wonder if this heart of mine
Will lose its desire for you
Never my love, no
Never my love
Never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no
I never can say goodbye, ooh...
Even though the pain and heartache
Seem to follow me wherever I go
Though I try and try to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving
And I always have to say no
Tell me why is it so
That I never can say goodbye, no, no, no
I never can say goodbye
Every time I think I've had enough
To start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right to the core
It says turn around, you fool
You know you love her more and more
Tell me why is it so
I can't let you go, no
I never can say goodbye, no
Never, no, no, no, no, no
Ooh, no matter how much I try
Ooh, yeah, never, never
How can you think love will end
When you know that my whole life depends on you
Ooh, tell me why is it so
I can't let you go, no
I never can say goodbye, no, never
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no matter how much I try
I just can't say goodbye
No, no, ooh, ooh, no
Oh, I never can say goodbye, no, never
Ooh, uh, ooh, uh
