Stop calling me a hound dog Just because I cry all the time You know you'd take this hard too If your tears were mine Well I wake up in the morning And sing with the birds Trying to figure out how to put it into words How to break it to my heart, what she said She said never say never live life like you ain't gonna die She said never say never live life like you ain't gonna die I'm here crowded in the wings babe still thinking that I'm your man Waiting for that San Francisco big one to shake that ring off your hand Well I wake up in the morning still hearing your words Next to some beautiful woman and I don't hear no bird singing Don't you remember how The Byrds used to sing for us? Never say never live life like you ain't gonna die She said never say never live life like you ain't gonna die You can't and you won't and you're not going to start tonight Never say never live life like you ain't gonna die Well they say life is hard but I don't know Just never fall in love and don't go on the road Wake up in the morning sing with the birds Next to a beautiful woman, love is absurd I cry all the time She said never say never live life like you ain't gonna die She said never say never live life like you ain't gonna die You can't and you won't and you're not going to start tonight Did you really think, you'd make it out alive? Never say never live life like you ain't gonna die Never say never live life like you ain't gonna die You can't but you won't don't even think that you might You can't you won't you've got too much fight Never say never live life like you ain't gonna die
