We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinkin' of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feelin'
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what's been goin' on
We know the gamе, and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feelin'
Don't tеll me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Ooh (give you up)
Ooh-ooh (give you up)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
Never gonna give, never gonna give
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what's been goin' on
We know the game, and we're gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I'm feelin'
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
