Be polite, don't be rude
Stand up straight, tie up your shoes
Blow your nose, comb your hair
Little soldier... don't despair
Get good grades, study hard
Always make mommy proud
Be a perfect little boy
Stay forever mama's toy
Oh you, can't you feel that something's wrong?
Oh it's been going on so long
Lift the veil you'll see you'll know...
Never gonna let you go, oh no, no she won't
Never gonna let you go, oh no, no she won't
You won't ever be on your own, fighting alone, being strong...
Your own thoughts are untrue
Right until they are approved
So stop worrying your little head
Mommy will do the thinking instead
She is right, they are wrong
Don't you ever sing a song!
Song that questions holy God
Words that say your truths are lies
Oh you, stop thinking what you're told
Your heart! Your heart is growing cold
Tear the cord, shout your No!
Never gonna let you go, oh no, no she won't
Never gonna let you go, oh no, no she won't
You won't ever be on your own, fighting alone, being strong
Never gonna let you go, you are hers, she won't let go
Hey you, if you prefer you can stay blind
But in life, in life there's no rewind
Stay dimmed for her majesty to glow
Sit and watch as she directs your show
Slip on sharp, broken pieces of the life that you throw
Never gonna let you go, oh no, no she won't
Never gonna let you go, oh no, no she won't
You won't ever be on your own, fighting alone, being strong
Never gonna let you go, you are hers, she won't let go
Never gonna let you go...
Never gonna let you go...
You won't ever be on your own...
Never gonna let you go...
