You ask me if there’ll come a time/
When I grow tired of you.
Never, my love.

In “Never My Love” the narrator comforts his love repeatedly: She asks him will he grow tired of her, lose his desire for her, change his mind? No. “Never my love.” (He has asked her to spend his whole life with him).

It is not clear whether or not the author meant to portray the girl as clingy, and she doesn’t come across that way during a casual listen. However, when you examine the lyrics she does seem kind of insecure. Nonetheless, it is a pretty love song.

The Association is a very underrated band from the 60s. “Never My Love” was The Association’s best song, but they had several other songs that would crack any top 1000 list. One of the unique aspects of this song is the Hammond organ used for accompaniment.

It is an interesting choice as it is so in-your-face, but it works. During this time Dylan and The Animals were also using the organ. The signature riff is the intro on the guitar coupled with the great harmonies.

Never My Love Lyrics

You ask me if there’ll come a time,
When I grow tired of you.
Never my love,
Never my love.

You wonder if this heart of mine,
Will lose its desire for you.
Never my love,
Never my love.

What makes you think love will end,
When you know that my whole life depends
On you (on you)?
Never my love,
Never my love.

You say you fear I’ll change my mind,
And I won’t require you.
Never my love,
Never my love.

How can you think love will end
When I’ve asked you to spend your whole life
With me (with me, with me)?

Never my love!
