Never Give You Up Lyrics

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 em
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'
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
I'll never leave you
Though you grieve me and deceive me, yeah
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

But I'll never, never, never, never, never let you go baby
No matter what you say
Babe, don't you understand
That you're killing this man?
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna give you up
No matter what you do to me, baby

There are multiple artists called Jerry Butler:

1) Jerry Butler, Jr. (born December 8, 1939 in Sunflower, Mississippi) is an American soul singer also known as "The Ice Man" because of his cool demeanour while singing often intensely emotional lyrics.

Butler was dubbed the "Iceman" by a Philadelphia disc jockey while performing in a Philadelphia theater. However, Butler achieved what eluded many earlier Doo Wop groups during the 1950s and 1960s — longevity. Butler’s solo career had a string of hits, including "He Will Break Your Heart," "Moon River," "Make It Easy On Yourself," "Let It Be Me" (the Everly Brothers classic re-done as a duet with Betty Everett), "Brand New Me," "Ain’t Understanding Mellow," (duet with Brenda Lee Eager), and "Never Gonna Give You Up," followed by two hugely successful albums The Iceman Cometh in 1968 and Ice On Ice in 1970. The Iceman Cometh garnered Butler three Grammy nominations. Jerry Butler further made recordings for Philadelphia International Records in the 80's. His most noted song for the label was "Cooling Out"
