The game of love, we intimately know –

its laws and maxims, mastered by our hearts;

thus, I propose to be thine only beau

with passion that no other could impart.

These feelings weighing heavy in my breast

should in thy soul be similarly sown;

and now they all are earnestly express’d

so that my vows are understood and known:

O never shall I vacate from thy side,

nor ever shall I disappoint thee hence,

nor will the day approach that wounded pride

shall rise from some unfaithful dalliance.

My actions leave thy face unstained by tears

and ledgers of my lies shall remain clear.

Rick Astley, ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’
