Kendricks, Eddie - Never Gonna Leave You Lyrics






You ought to know by now
That I'm never gonna leave you
That I'm never, never gonna leave you
You ought to know by now
That I'm never gonna leave you
That I'm never, never...

When you wake me up
My breakfast on the table
Coffee's in my cup
Next to the morning paper
I love the ground
That you walk on
Each day my love gets a little stronger
Oh so strong

You, you ought to know by now
That I'm never gonna leave you
That I'm never, never gonna leave you

Many girls have tried to take me from you
Nothing they could do
Could make me untrue
Til' death do us part
By you I'll stand
Through thick and thin
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust

Ooh...
You ought to know by now
That I'm never gonna leave you
That I'm never, never gonna leave you
You ought to know by now
That I'm never gonna leave you
That I'm never, never gonna leave you

Never, never gonna leave you
Never, never gonna leave you
Never, never

Know that I'll never
Know that I'll never... hey
Coffee in my cup
Next to the morning paper
Hey...
You make me feel alright
Ooh...
Know that I'll never
Never gonna leave you

(Never, never)
Know that I'll never
(Never, never)
Never
(Never, never)
Never, never
(Gonna leave you)
Know that'll never
(Never, never gonna leave you)
Never gonna leave
(Never, never gonna leave you)
Never
(Never, never gonna leave you)
Never

    Berry Gordy biggest shame? Is in the facts he had this brilliant man sign away his royalties to depart Motown label? So when the books are written after his death so many scams will emerge.

  21. V.... H....

    Back in 74 my jam i sung this to my wife now, who was then my lady. LOL

  22. f.... f....

    Eddie's only Philly-sound album.It makes him the only artist on Motown to have n album produced by Kenny Gamble,Leon Huff and his crew.
    Eddie should have switched labels to continue this fantastic style.This album became an instant classic,as it should be.

    f.... f....

    Incorrect. He's A Friend was Eddie's first Philly Sound album. His second was Goin' Up In Smoke. Both were produced by Norman "The Harris Machine" Harris not Gamble and Huff. The Jacksons formerly The Jacksons Five had two albums produced by Gamble and Huff.

  23. T.... C....

    This song will reassure the one you love. There will be no more doubt after you play this song for them. GONE EDDIE!!!! #RIP

  24. W.... F....

    Eddie at his best...... That falsetto was mesmerizing.

    W.... F....

    Eddie himself was/is still pretty mesmerizing! I'm a new fan, but I love me some Eddie Kendricks. I would've been a groupie. He was a gorgeous man.😍😘💞💕

  25. j.... ....

    Team Eddie forever! Mwah💝

  26. E.... M....

    Great ballad by The King of Falsettos.

  28. F.... M....

    You are right on I love all of those Hits

  29. S.... B....

    Still play his music everyday

  30. C.... 5....

    TNR-vintage. Eddie, the Tenor that started a following. Temptations Forever, Kelsey West Philly 😊 ✌

  31. J.... E....

    I’m only 20 and I appreciate this music seems as though today’s music doesn’t have depth and true feelings behind it. Today’s music is garbage compared to this

  32. J.... W....

    it dont get no warmer than this track right here......

    J.... W....

    This is a real love song right here. Eddie's voice and delivery is flawless. In fact it is pure bliss! Love you Eddie!

  36. M.... C....

    One Voice: Eddie Kendricks !
    R.I.P. 1939-1992.

    M.... C....

    Rest in peace! Mr. Eddie kendricks🌷🌷🌷🌷

  37. F.... C....

    This song is dedicated to Ms. Dolores Eunice Parham. She was sassy, spirited and a very beautiful lady with a soul so bright that moonlight paled in comparison. She had a sexy walk that caused many an auto accident let me tell ya! She was intelligent, thoughtful and she was kind to all whom she met. Lupus took that Angel away many years ago and to this day I still miss my baby. She taught me how to love from my heart and she completed me. I know she looks down on me for I can sense her and envision her smile. But I know she's happy in the afterlife for she is with many that loved her on earth and now in Heaven. As Eddie sang...I will never let thoughts of you leave me for my love you were the coffee in my cup. I will always love you Ms. Baby. A kiss to the sky from me to you. Always.

  38. T.... N....

    This is that close your eyes, imagine you're riding on a cloud song. Smooth az silk!! Rest in peace EJK..

  39. M.... D....

    Eddie gave that falsetto a fresh expression

  40. H.... ....

    American classic soul music, cant be touched!

    H.... ....

    Damn Right Damn Skippy. No one today can touch or compare with this brother that sang so soulfully or the group he was with as wall.

  41. T.... F....

    smooth as silk

  42. E.... L....

    I wish I could bring you, One more cup of, Taster's Choice coffee and breakfast, before you went to work, at 6 AM! I would then, go back to bed, for a minute! Then take care of the house and
    Boys! My 4 guys! Love Ya, Liz. Miss you, Georgie!

  43. E.... L....

    My Sweet Georgie!

  44. C.... W....

    love it

  45. S.... B....

    Simply beautiful.

  46. S.... B....

    It's not what you got but how you use it 6ft.1and a half inch tall 145lbs of pure magic blessed by God.

    S.... B....

    Eddie was indeed very blessed. He was tall, slender, and so very handsome! He drove women crazy, and still is doing so even before he sings one note. He was gorgeous!👀😍😍💞

    But, when he sings, it's a wrap! His beautiful, sexy, smooth, falsetto make countless women swoon and long for him.
    Sweet Eddie!😘💞💕

    S.... B....

    I would give just about anything to see Eddie Kendricks singing this song.
    Such a beautiful man with a beautiful voice singing such a beautiful song? I don't know if I could take it.
    Eddieee!!!😘💕💕💕

  47. C.... D....

    The Delphonics, The Spinners, The Intruders, Harold Melvan & The Blue Notes, The Dramatics, Enchantments, The Whispers, The O'Jays, The Stylistics, Blue Magic, The Moments, The Manhattans, The Main Ingredients  I can go on forever...The best music has already been done.  Todays music is pure Garbage.

    C.... D....

    I agree brother,but there's tons of other oldie groups besides the ones you mentioned. Though we all love all of them,they were many many more groups & artists from the late 60's to late 70's that part of the soundtracks to our memorable lives,back then. Groups that were just talented if not more. Groups that made beautiful ballads as well as uptempo underground classics.. The west coast had more groups than us on the east,down south had many groups,as well as the midwest.. the tnj's,smoke,the metaphors, Richmond international, love committee, the three reasons, the sequins, the ethics,the soul train gang,kaleidoscope, the Carstairs, I too can go on and on.. I've been collecting these rare n hard to find groups for about 10ys now, 30+yrs all together.collecting these gems is an endless quest.. there's LITERALLY tons on if this stuff out there... search n you will find..

    C.... D....

    Your so right Charles Drake we had music that made a man in fall in LOVE like my husband and I 47 years and still going strong. These young don't have clue at all my brother.

    C.... D....
