Lyrics Isaac Hayes

Isaac Hayes

Never Gonna Give You Up

Never gonna give you up

No matter how you treat me

Never gonna give you up

So don't you think of leavin'

Girl, you treat me bad and I know why

Yeah, I've seen you runnin' around with another guy

And you think if you hurt me that I'll go away

Made it up in my mind that I'm here to stay

So tell him

(Never gonna give you up)

Whisper in his ear

(No matter how you treat me)

(Never gonna give you up)

You tell him that Jerry said he'll never let you go

(So don't you think of leavin')

Hey, don't you understand

What you're doing to the man?

Do you see these tears here in my eyes?

Ain't no use in me lyin' 'cause I really cried

You think you're gonna take me and put me on the shelf

Girl, I'd rather die than see you with somebody else

So throw it out of your mind

(Never gonna give you up)

I'll never leave you

(No matter how you treat me)

Though you grieve me and deceive me, yeah

(Never gonna give you up)

(So don't you think of leavin')

Hey, don't you understand

What you're doing to the man?

My friends all say that I'm your fool

And you're using me like a carpenter uses a tool

And I know their intentions have all been good

Some of them would help me if they could

But I'll

(Never gonna give you up)

Never, never, never, never let you go

(No matter how you treat me)

No matter what you say

(Never gonna give you up)

(So don't you think of leavin')

Baby, don't you understand

That you're killing this man?

(Never gonna give you up)

Never gonna give you up

(No matter how you treat me)

No matter what you do to me, baby now

(Never gonna give you up)

(So don't you think of leavin')

Oh, never leave me

I'll be always standing around the door

(Never gonna give you up)

(No matter how you treat me)

Even though you say that honey

You don't love me
