英國靈魂歌姬〔麗莎史坦菲爾德〕──R&B/靈魂曲──〔Never , Never Gonna Give You Up/絕對不會拋棄你〕
Spoken:
Oh baby, you know Ive waited, waited so long
To sing...to sing this song
Whatever, whatever, babe Ill do it
Forever and ever, yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah,
Ill see you through it
Ive got to keep you pleased in every way I can
Gonna give you all of me, as much or you can stand
Make love to you right now, thats all I want to do
I know you need it boy and you know
I need it too, cause
Ive found what the world is searchin for
Here, right here my dear I dont have to look no more
And all of my days I hoped and I prayed
For someone just like you to makes me feel the way you do
Chorus:
Never Never gonna give you up,
Im never ever gonna stop
Not the way I feel about you babe
I just cant live without you
Im never ever gonna quit cause quiting just aint my schtick
Im gonna lay right here with you and do all the
things you want me to
Whatever you want, boy you got it
And whatever you need
I dont want to see you without it
Youve given me much more than words could ever say
Oh my dear III be right here until my dying day
i dont know just how to say all the things I feel
I just know that I love you so and it gives me
such a thrill cause
Ive found what the world is lookin for
Here, right here my dear I dont have to search no more
And all of my days I hoped and I prayed
For someone just like you to makes me feel the way you do
(Chorus x 2)
雖然跟瑞克艾斯里(Rick Astley)那首紅遍全球的冠軍經典很像
不過兩者是截然不同的歌曲
1997年6月 31歲的英國歌姬麗莎史坦菲爾德(Lisa Stansfield)發行同名專輯第三首主打〔Never , Never Gonna Give You Up/絕對不會拋棄你〕
這是翻唱她的偶像美國黑人靈魂樂巨星巴瑞懷特(Barry White)的舊作(US#7 UK#14)
麗莎的版本是首中慢板的R&B靈魂曲
〔Never , Never Gonna Give You Up〕登上英國榜#25
此曲成為麗莎這張專輯在美國主流市場首支主打 拿到流行榜#74 節奏藍調榜#38
不過混因版受到歡迎, 登上舞曲播放榜后座 成為史坦菲爾德第四首冠軍
MV拍得很特別 原先在沐浴的麗莎竟從浴缸起身 一絲不掛的在街上漫遊
