Never Gonna Give You Up Lyrics
We’re no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of
You wouldn’t get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching, but
You’re too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what’s been going on
We know the game and we’re gonna play it
And if you ask me how I’m feeling
Don’t tell me you’re too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh, give you up)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching, but
You’re too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what’s been going on
We know the game and we’re gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never Gonna Give You Up Inspired By A Woman Pete Waterman
“Never Gonna Give You Up” is inspired by a woman Pete Waterman had been dating for three years. Rick Astley, who had no money at the time, was staying at the Waterman house, thus witnessing the whole story. After a three-hour phone call with that woman, Astley told Waterman: Brother, you can tell that woman “You are never going to leave her.”
No. It wasn’t written by Rick Astley … Basically because he didn’t have a direct personal connection to anything that was happening in that couple’s story. He felt like he was watching from the other side of the barrier.
Many artists do not need to write or produce their songs to make them their own, but it is a process that takes time.
This was the case with greats like Whitney Houston or Frank Sinatra, who did not write or produce their own music.
But over the years, every time Rick Astley sings ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ it feels like it’s his song. It doesn’t matter who wrote it anymore … It doesn’t matter who produced it … That’s THE Rick Astley song.
