John, Elton - Never Gonna Fall In Love Again Lyrics

I love this song & the album.  In fact, there are very few songs Elton has recorded that I don't like/love.

Amen to that! Want to know hurt then fall in love

Every time I imagine the possibility of a love affair, and I remember the suffering I've been through, I hear that song and I reassure myself again.
Works well ....

Never knew that Elton sang this great Eric Carmen song. Made it much different. Wonderful

Que delícia de música... 💕

The Lonely Rocker digs this song!

I listened this simple and in the same time awsome album so many time. A lot of beautiful songs speaking of love today still.

Check out Tom Robinson 's disco version Campy wonderful

You don't even have to be much of an Elton fan to know that these garbage lyrics were not written by Bernie Taupin.

1) LOVE this song. 2) The line "and every cat I meet's a Tom" obviously refers to a male. This line should have been also changed if Elton was trying to disguise the orientation..lol. 

I see what you mean there but its worth noting that there is a plausible straight interpretation of that line! He sings everywhere there's lots of foxes, which is often a term used to describe attractive ladies, and when he says every cat he meets is a tom could be referring to rivals in love for the aforementioned foxes! it was quite common slang to refer to people as cats, in the 70's kinda like the word dude!

Tom cat is also slang for an aggressive woman

But it wasn't just coming out that dropped those sales. Single Man, Victim of Love and 21 at 33 were real clunkers musically too.

I forgot about that. He was almost invisible and the butt of jokes as a has been until he came back in the mid 80's. I have original issues of Too Low for Zero and Breaking Hearts on vinyl.

Not heard this for years. I was very disappointed with the album at the time, after so many treasures in the 70s, but this song sounds ok now.

Elton came out as bisexual in Rolling Stone in 1976 and his sales dipped as a result. He got married 14th Feb 1984, divorced in 88, both accepting he was gay rather than bisexual.

Dear publisher of the song: the "21 at 33" refers not to the number of albums released at that moment but to the period between these two ages of Elton, beeing the LP a synthesis of his work as an artist, and also the result of his musical experiences as the biggest talent of the modern era.

hanks ram0166. My memory must be faulty. I was convinced this track was recorded after the married period and after he had come out. Of course it never did Tom Robinson any harm. Though Tom did the marriage bit the other way round and is still gay and still married. Gets the newspapers really confused.

He'd identified as bisexual before this song was released in around 1976, he got married to whatever that bird was called in the early 80's shortly after this song was released and divorced her and fully came out sometime around 1989.

Because he was publicly in denial back then. Do you remember he was actually rmarried to a woman in the mid-80's? Also, a song is not commercially viable if it is written from that perspective.

Thats true! its also worth noting that even after he fully came out he still used the female pronoun in his love songs!

His lyricists continued using normal pronouns, because he wasn't a dumbass who felt the compulsion to shove politics in everyone's face. He is and was a performer and knows his job is to entertain. He played Israel, Florida, AZ, when other celebs were trying to tell him he had to boycott those places over some political garbage. He doesn't politicize every damn aspect of life, like some nincompoops do.

The title comes from the fact that this was the 21st release at the 33rd year of his life. This includes his 14 studio albums (at the time), 2 live albums, 2 greatest hits albums, the EP "Thom Bell Sessions", the Friends soundtrack, and the UK-only release "Lady Samantha".

Works vastly better with original 'gay' words. Though why, of all people, Elton should want to change the words is a mystery. Still a very good song.

It was a different time! Elton was cognoscent of the fact it could damage his record sales if he used the original lyrics!

just broke up. i cant stop listening to this song.
i still love her... =/
