Never Stop lyrics

Never Stop` is an Emily Saliers song from the 1986 EP. The last
time I heard it performed was in March of 1990, I think. The lyrics
are transcribed directly from the EP lyric sheet. It`s odd in that
it`s one of the only IG songs that`s gender-specific, in the line
`throw away your hidden ace, you clever man.`


Never Stop

You say she`s a very good friend,
Circumstances I should understand.
But like recurring tide she comes on to you
And looks as though she`s looking for a man
Honey, Don`t make yourself so available
My pride`s in my pocket, but I can be reasonable
Still, all in all, I forsee my own fall
But I`ve climbed too far to drop, so stop
I know it`s your ego puts the smile on your face
Because you know you got your options open
She`s a beguiling snake and she`ll keep what she takes
But when she leaves you, I`ll be the one coping
Honey, don`t make yourself so available
My pride`s in my pocket, but I can be reasonable
Still, through and through I can see clean through you
I know you like to be the one on top, but stop!
You will miss my conversation when you`re talking to yourself
You`ll be thumbing for advice through the pages of the novels on your
shelf
Honey, don`t you see our love together`s the very best bet
Put your focus on me and I`ll forgive and forget
Throw away your hidden ace, you clever man, take my hand
You needn`t play the part of your image
This is not a one act play we`re living
As long as I`m here the situation is clear
It`ll be 50/50 take and giving
Honey don`t you see a lifetime`s not much to ask
take off your costume and remove your mask
If yes is what you will say we`re gonna satrt from today
We`re gonna take it to the very top
Never stop
