Never Should’ve Started Lyrics by Cher

Black Rose

1980

[Verse 1:]
I'm going all the way
Tonight's the night
I'm gonna give my love
I wanna treat you right
I don't want to try to understand, my love
I just wanna take you by the hand
No matter what it takes
I'll make you mine
You're gonna give it up
You're gonna say alright

[Pre-Chorus:]
I'm gonna take you by surprise
Right between the eyes
Ooh, yeah!

[Chorus:]
Never should've started (with me boy)
You never should've started (with me boy)
You never should've started with me boy
You never should've started (with me boy)
You never should've started (with me boy)
You never should've started with me, yeah

[Verse 2:]
I'm going all the way
Tonight's the night
I'm gonna give my love
I'm gonna treat you right
I don't wanna try to understand my love
I just want to take you by the hand
No matter what it takes
I'll make you mine
I'm gonna give you all my lovin' boy
I'm gonna say alright

[Pre-Chorus:]
I'm gonna take you by surprise
Right between the eyes
Ooh, yeah!

[Chorus:]
Never should've started (with me boy)
You never should've started (with me boy)
You never should've started with me boy
You never should've started (with me boy)
You never should've started (with me boy)
You never should've started with me, yeah

[Pre-Chorus:]
I'm gonna take you by surprise
Right between the eyes
Ooh, yeah!

You never should've started (with me boy)
You never should've started (with me boy)
