英國威爾斯實力歌姬［雪莉貝西］──輕音樂／流行抒情曲──［Never Never Never／永遠不會］

 

Id like to run away from you, but if you never found me I would die

Id like to break the chains you put around me, but I know I never will

You stay away and all I do is wonder why the hell I wait for you

But when did common sense prevail for lovers when we know it never will

Impossible to live with you

But I know, I could never live without you

For whatever you do

I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you

You never treat me like you should, so whats the good of loving as I do?

Although you always laugh at love, nothing else would be good enough for you

Impossible to live with you, but I know, I could never live without you

For whatever you do

I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you

You make me laugh, you make me cry, you make me live, you make me die for you

You make me sing, you make me sad, you make me glad, you make me mad for you

I love you, hate you, love you, hate you

But Ill want you til the world stops turning

For whatever you do

I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you

I love you, hate you, love you, hate you

But Ill want you til the world stops turning

For whatever you do

I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you

I love you, hate you, love you, hate you, love you

But Ill want you til the world stops turning

For whatever you do

I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
