It's 'bout to change shout it loud and proud
I ain't a victim of your beauty no more
Alone, your own try to find your magic powers
Meanwhile I'm leaving
Cuz I learn how letting go

I just wanna give you something
That I know you never ever, ever gonna feel
Something super ordinary mind blowing
And it's very real
Never gonna give it up
Never give it up
I never gonna give it up ooh
Never give it up
I never gonna give it up ooh
Never give it up
I never gonna give it up ooh

Should be the one how dies me everything I want it
Could dise me all of that just for me
I say I can and you believe that I wanted it
Crazy how sad can change (?) believe what

I just wanna give you something
That I know you never ever, ever gonna feel
Something super ordinary mind blowing
And it's very real
Never gonna give it up
Never give it up
It's so perspective
I just need to go miles
Taking something from me
Let's get it right
And I just do tonight, tonight, tonight

Never give it up
I never gonna give it up ooh
Never give it up
I never gonna give it up ooh
Never give it up
I never gonna give it up ooh
Never give it up
I never gonna give it up ooh
Never give it up
I never gonna give it up ooh

I just wanna give you something
That I know you never ever, ever gonna feel
Something super ordinary mind blowing
And it's very real
Never gonna give it up
Never give it up
It's so perspective, I just need to go miles
Taking something just for me
Let's get it right
And I just do tonight, tonight, tonight

Never give it up
I never gonna give it up ooh
Never give it up
I never gonna give it up ooh
Never give it up
I never gonna give it up ooh

It's so perspective
I just need to go miles
Taking something from me
Let's get it right
And I just do tonight, tonight, tonight

Never give it up
I never gonna give it up ooh
Never give it up
I never gonna give it up ooh
Never give it up
I never gonna give it up ooh

Jennifer Hudson first entered the public consciousness as a 22-year old from Chicago trying out for American Idol. Her American Idol tenure ended in 2005, after finishing in seventh place.

Since the show, she’s gone on to have successes as a singer, theater actor, and movie star. Her first big break was her role as Effie in the 2006 film Dreamgirls. She starred alongside Beyoncé and won 29 awards for her performance—including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2007. She went on to star in numerous films as well as the theater production The Color Purple, based on the novel by Alice Walker.

Hudson released her first album in 2008 entitled Jennifer Hudson. That same year, she suffered a major loss while on tour when her mother, brother, and nephew were killed by her sister’s estranged husband. She released subsequent albums I Remember Me in 2011, and JHUD in 2014.
