James Brown
Never Gonna Give You Up
[Intro]
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, hey baby, yeah
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa

[Chorus]
Never gonna give you up
No, baby, yeah
No matter how you treat me
Can't do it, no
Never gonna give you up
No, no
So don't you think of leaving
Hey, yeah

[Verse 1]
Boy, you treat me bad, and I know why
Oh, you thought you saw me running around with another guy
And you think if you hurt that I will go away
Made it up in my mind that I'm here to stay, yeah

[Chorus]
Never gonna give you up
And I never, no no
No matter how you treat me
I never
Never gonna give you up
I can't do it, baby
So don't you think of leaving
Hey, hey
Don't you understand what you're doing to this woman?
[Verse 2]
Do you see these tears here in my eyes?
Ain't no use in me lying, boy, 'cause I'm really crying
You think you're gonna take me and put me on a shelf
Boy, I'd rather die than see you with someone else

[Chorus]
Never gonna give you up
So throw it out of your mind
No matter how you treat me
I will never leave you
Never gonna give you up
Boy, you believe me, I can see it clear
So don't you think of leaving
Baby, yeah
Hey, don't you understand what you're doing to this woman?
Oh, baby baby, no no no no no, oh baby, yeah

[Bridge]
My friends all say, "Girl, you're a fool
'Cause that man is using you like a carpenter uses his tools"
Although I know their intentions are all very good
Some of them would help me if only they could, and I

[Chorus]
Never gonna give you up
I'll never give you up
No matter how you treat me
No matter how you treat me
Never gonna give you up
Never give you up
So don't you think of leaving
Hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, don't you understand what you're doing to this woman?
Never gonna give you up
I can't do it, baby
No matter how you treat me
No, no, no, I'll never, never
Never gonna give you up
Give you up
So don't you think of leaving
No, baby, I'll never
Never gonna give you up
I can't do it, can't do it, baby
No matter how you treat me
I'll never
Never gonna give you up
I'll never give you up
So don't you think of leaving
No, no, no, no
Never gonna give you up
Oh baby
