The AssociationNever My Love Lyrics:
You ask me if there'll come a time when I grow tired of you.
Never my love. Never my love.
You wonder if this heart of mine will lose its desire for you.
Never my love. Never my love.
What makes you think love will end,
When you know that my whole life depends
On you, (on you)?
(Da da da da da da da da.)
(Da da da da da da da da.)
Never my love.
Never my love.
You say you fear I'll change my mind and I won't require you.
Never my love. (Never my love.)
Never my love. (Never my love.)
How can you think love will end,
When I've asked you to spend your whole life
With me, (with me,) (with me)?
[Short instrumental break.]
Never my love. (Never my love.)
Never my love. (Never my love.)
[Short instrumental break.]
Never my love. (Never my love.)
Never my love. (Never my love.) [Fade.]
