James, Rick - Never Say You Love Me Lyrics






Hello
Hi Rick, is that you?
Yeah, it's me, who is this?
Oh, you forgot my voice already?
What do you want, Marie?
You sound upset. What did I do? I just called to say I miss you, and I love you
How can I tell, Marie? I've been calling you for the last few days. All I get is your service. I mean, what's really going on, baby?
I'm sorry, baby, but I've just been so busy lately
Yeah, I'm hearing how busy you've been. Some of my boys told me they saw you out with your little man
Oh no, baby, that's not true. You know I love only you. Anyway, I said I was sorry

Sorry, that's what you say when you hurt me
Day after day you desert me
And when I just asked you why
You say, "I'm sorry, sorry"
I love you, are these just words that you're saying
When we're in bed and just laying
To keep me here by your side
You say, "I love you, love you"

All these words you say from your heart, will keep us apart
Just lie, won't you tell me why, won't you tell me why, sweet baby
All these words you say are just lies, please tell me why
Just lies, just lies, stupid alibis and silly lies

Am I just a fool in love, or am I too blind to see?
You have found another lover, but you're still playing me
I never want to see your face, 'cause it's finally the end
And I never want to hear you say you love me again
Never say you love me, never, never
Never say you love me again
Never say you love me, never say you love me
Never say you love me again, never say you love me
Never, never say you love me, oh baby, never say you love me

Forgive me, that's what I'm begging you to do
Before you tell me that we're through
Before I break down and cry
Forgive me, forgive me
I need you, although sometimes I don't show it
Deep in your heart don't you know it
So please don't leave me this way
Because I need you

All these words you say from your heart, will keep us apart
You never said you love me, you never said goodbye, never
All these words you say are just lies, please tell me why
No no no no, that's not, never lying, no

Am I just a fool in love, or am I too blind to see?
You have found another lover, but you're still playing me
I never want to see your face, 'cause it's finally the end
And I never want to hear you say you love me again
Never, never
Never say you love me again
Never say you love me, never say you love me, never say you love me
Never say you love me again, never say you love me
Never, never
Never say you love me again, never say you love me
Never say you love me, never say you love me, never say you love me
Never say you love me again, never say you love me
Never say you love me, never say you love me
Never say you love me again, never say you love me
Never say you love

Never say you love me, girl
Never say those words to me
If you wanna be my love
Give me truth and honesty
I'll never play you for a fool
So give the same respect to me
And never say you love me, girl
Unless it's what you really and truly mean

    J.... H....

    Whoa....Babe, those were cold words.... I like that you was Bold enough to say that to your king...

  70. O.... R....

    One of my favs from the "Urban Rapsody album. Thankful he featured "Jo Jo" (formerly the Mary Jane Girls) on it. The album had decent enough promotion to make a buzz. But for sure the true fans of Rick James couldn't wait to get their hands on it. Also, this track has similar melody to "Tell Me What You Want" from his 1983' album Cold Blooded. Billy Dee Williams makes a powerful cameo contribution to the song. Rick James was quite a songwriter, musician and being. I constantly look pass his bad days, just to appreciate his kinder and more organic worthier generous side. The late Jimi Hendrix was the same. Beautiful spirits caught up in the world filled with obstacles. Both gave just due acknowledgements to their band members. That's what made Rick James a beautiful soul. He thought of others just equal if not also before himself. Rest in peace brother Rick!!!!!!!!

    O.... R....

    +Owen Rich Beautifully said, Owen, just beautiful.

    O.... R....

    @Helen Lundgren Thanks. Let's give appreciation flowers to those we love, before they pass on to the next.

    O.... R....

    Amen to that, Owen!

  71. W.... B....

  79. S.... B....

    A hidden GEM! WHEEEWWW!!!!

    S.... B....

    It sure is

  80. C.... S....

    I always tell people , the media gave the wrong impression of Rick James, I have never heard one song , that he called any woman a bitch. Rick always sang about his love for women. This song is another perfect example.

    C.... S....

    Catherine Smith

  81. H.... L....

    This album SHOULD have gotten more cudo's.  Rick was an amazing artist in spite of his drug use.  I feel very sad for the life he lived. After reading his book, Glow, I have so much insight to the deep cat he was.  I listen to his music now with new ears. I was totally in love with his music the first time I heard it in the 70's.

    H.... L....

    Helen Lundgren
    I'm in the middle of that book now. Great reading so far

    H.... L....

    Yes Helen, he didn't get the props he should have received. His book is a good read. He broke down barriers in music at that time. His concert's were a visual experience. R.I.P Rick.

  82. H.... L....

    I just read Ricks book, Glow. Teena was supposed to sing this but she was angry at him for something to do with his sister.  Too bad, I would have LOVED her voice with his again, he wrote this with Teena in mind.

    H.... L....

    Helen Lundgren Yes, I can hear Teena singing on this track

  83. w.... ....

    Wow underrated song like so many of his slow cuts. Check out I Beleive In You

  84. K.... N....

    he was one of a kind,i just loved he's slow songs.my he R.I.P.

  85. w.... ....

    RIP RJ. King of smoothness still

  86. L.... B....

    There's not a RJ SONG I DIDNT LIKE BECAUSE I KNEW WHERE HE WAS COMING FROM HIS STYLE WAS A MASTERPIECE!

    L.... B....

    Lynden Breezz LB53 - AMEN!

  87. R.... A....

    That's a nice top 5, but I would put Spacey Love and Jefferson Ball at #2 and #3

    R.... A....

    U forgot "Big Day", that is his best one.. Look for it here on youtube..

    R.... A....

    One of his background singers told me that he made that song up as he went along but that the girls knew what they were suppose to sing now that's what you call pure raw talent...

  88. D.... S....

    Perfect !!!

  89. a.... e....

    rick shined especially on his love songs listen to his vocals they're just coming through!!! rest in peace rick and thanks for the music you left behind a fan always

    a.... e....

    [email protected]

  94. b.... ....

    i agree with u there

  95. A.... ....

    It is a shame this was a low budget release - this album deserved more attention than it got as Rick James comeback record after prison

  96. K.... W....

    Wait a minute now. They are both very Respected artists. Take Justin Bieber and Give Back Rick!

  97. K.... D....
