[NEVER have I ever] [Verse 1 – Roxy powerful female voice 1] Never have I ever fallen in love. Did it once—covered in crème, (I was whipped) He was the ace of hearts, Dealt me just to tear me apart. (It was whiplash) --- [Pre-Chorus – Group] I will never, never, never—fall in love. Ooooh, oh love... --- [Chorus – All / Call & Response all 4 voices harmonies] Never have I needed love that burned. (We are fire—watch us burn them brighter!) Never have I fed on lies so warped. (We are truth—we're your family, tighter!) Never have I ever sunk this far. (We're your ladder—climb up, fighter!) Never thought I'd be this loud, this free— (We are louder, prouder—let us be!) --- [Verse 2 – Jason male vocal] Never have I ever had a family. My parents wrote me out the narrative. Their final will? For me to grow up alone. No inheritance—just loneliness in a big red bow. (It was a red flag.) --- [Pre-Chorus – Group layered] I will never, never, never—fall in love. Ooooh, oh love... --- [Chorus – All / Call & Response all 4 voices] Never have I needed love that burned. (We are fire—watch us burn them brighter!) Never have I fed on lies so warped. (We are truth—we're your family, tighter!) Never have I ever sunk this far. (We're your ladder—climb up, fighter!) Never thought I'd be this loud, this free— (We are louder, prouder—let us be!) --- [Verse 3 – Ruby sultry female voice 2] Never have I ever struggled for cash. I jazzed my struggle up, with grit and wit. "Ruby, marry a banker," they said. But I banked on hope. I banked on me. (I'm cashing out. I won.) --- [Bridge – Barbie light airy voice 3] Never have I ever been single. I was born betrothed—blinked, had a ring. What's love without an accessory? I collect love, still tagging at its heartstrings. (It wasn't love. It was comfort.) [Final Chorus – All Voices Full Harmony] Never have I needed love that burned. (We are fire—watch us burn them brighter!) Never have I fed on lies so warped. (We are truth—we're your family, tighter!) Never have I ever sunk this far. (We're your ladder—climb up, fighter!) Never thought I'd be this loud, this free— (We are louder, prouder—let us be!) [Post-Chorus / Outro – male voice and harmonies] I lived, I lost, I burned, I bled— I begged, I broke, I bit my tongue— I gave, they took, I played the fool— I danced, I drowned, I wore their chain— (Raise your glass) We are finally free. We will never ever fall in love again.
