Description: You have never, ever heard a kiss-off song like this one. It’s an evisceration, but the self-righteous prig on the receiving end deserves it. It has witty, sophisticated, fast paced lyrics and a tune that will bring the house down. In fact, you could build a Broadway show around this song. Not that we’re bragging.

Lyrics
I’m on a trip through Thursday,
And Friday night is booked.
I’ll be away on Saturday
And Sunday I’m just cooked.
All next week I’m working,
But after that, let’s see,
The weekend’s jammed,
Completely slammed,
I guess that only leaves:
Never again – Never is when
I’m gonna be loving you,
You’re a man
Whose righteous brand,
I can see right through.
Never again – pencil it in,
Be certain you follow through,
Hold the date
And don’t be late,
Cause never’s saved for you.
You met me once for coffee
You told me what life means,
Yes, you’re a swell,
Who peacocks well,
In sneaks and skinny jeans.
You say we’ll be together;
Of course, who wouldn’t do?
Your silky smile and studied guile,
Made me look forward to:
Never again – Never is when
I’m gonna be loving you,
You’re a man
Whose righteous brand,
I can see right through.
Never again, pencil it in,
Be certain you follow through,
Hold the date
And don’t be late,
Cause never’s saved for you.
Shallow affairs lead only to grief
Gentleman lovers are such a relief,
Our two perspectives are so much aligned.
This is the future I have in mind:
Never again – Never is when
I’m gonna be loving you,
You’re a man
Whose righteous brand,
I can see right through.
Never again, pencil it in,
Yes, never is what we’ll do,
Don’t make me wait,
We’ll celebrate,
Cause never’s saved for you.
Never again – Never is when
I’m gonna be loving you,
You’re a man
Whose righteous brand,
I can see right through.
Never again, pencil it in,
Yes, never is what we’ll do,
Don’t make me wait,
We’ll celebrate,
Cause never’s saved for you.
