Never Give You Up Lyrics By Jerry Butler

    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’

    post
    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 mama yeah
    never gonna give you up
    so don’t you think of leavin’

    post
    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 are all very good
    some of them would help me if they could

    never gonna give you up
    but i’ll never never never never never let you go baby
    no matter how you treat me
    never gonna give you up no matter what you say
    so don’t you think of leavin’

    post
    babe 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’
    one of these days i’ll be standin’ around your door
    no matter how you treat me
