Never Be True
[Intro]
I did what I could for you, baby
I did in on the Q.T
You accepted what I did
And, heh, made a, well, you know, out of me
You made love to me, baby
When you wanted something for yourself
Then you turned around and gave my lovin' to somebody else
And can’t I get you to help it
Oh, yeah (Ooh, ooh)
You socked it to me, heh
You really laid it on me baby
Yeah, you really had your fun (Ooh, ooh)
Hmm, ah, ah, ah (Ooh, ooh)
I wanna sing for you, now

[Verse 1]
You know that I couldn't really love you, yeah, yeah
And you know I would be faithful
And I would always be true
You know I'd never do you wrong
Cause I’d tell you that I loved you, baby, all the day long
But still, you make me feel like my love is just in vain
Oh, I just don't understand why we make love again

[Chorus]
You'll never be true to me
Never, oh, never, be true (Never be true)
[Verse 2]
Oh, there was a time
Huh, when we had so much fun together, yeah
We would always be lovin' and laughin' and smilin' (We would always be lovin', laughing', smilin’, smilin’)
No matter what the weather
But things are not the way they are supposed to be
For the simple reason, baby
You're no longer in love with me
So, I guess I have to sit here, alone and blue
Just let me stay by myself, cause I realize that you will

[Chorus]
Never be true to me
Never, oh, it just can’t, oh, no, oh (Never be true)

[Bridge]
You never be true to me, oh
Oh, but still, you make me feel like my love is just in vain (Ooh)
And I just don't understand why I wanna make love a foolish game
I just guess I'll sit alone, feelin' blue (Ooh)
I gotta stay by myself, ’cause I realize that you will

[Chorus]
Oh, never be true to me
Never, you just can't be true (Never be true)
[Outro]
Oh, no, you never will, after all, after all I've done for you baby (Never be true)
You just never gonna, oh, I gave you all of my love, babe (Never be true)
But just can't, you never, never, never (Never be true)
You never be true to me (Never be true)
Oh, my baby, why you've never been true? (Never be true)
Never be true to me, no (Never be true)
You just took my love and left me all by myself (Never be true)
