Indigo Girls - Never Stop (1986 EP) Lyrics
Never Stop" is an Emily Saliers song from the 1986 EP. The last time I heard it performed was in March of 1990, I think. The lyrics are transcribed directly from the EP lyric sheet. It's odd in that it's one of the only IG songs that's gender-specific, in the line "throw away your hidden ace, you clever man." Never StopYou say she's a very good friend,Circumstances I should understand.But like recurring tide she comes on to youAnd looks as though she's looking for a manHoney, Don't make yourself so availableMy pride's in my pocket, but I can be reasonableStill, all in all, I forsee my own fallBut I've climbed too far to drop, so stopI know it's your ego puts the smile on your faceBecause you know you got your options openShe's a beguiling snake and she'll keep what she takesBut when she leaves you, I'll be the one copingHoney, don't make yourself so availableMy pride's in my pocket, but I can be reasonableStill, through and through I can see clean through youI know you like to be the one on top, but stop!You will miss my conversation when you're talking to yourselfYou'll be thumbing for advice through the pages of the novels on your shelfHoney, don't you see our love together's the very best betPut your focus on me and I'll forgive and forgetThrow away your hidden ace, you clever man, take my handYou needn't play the part of your imageThis is not a one act play we're livingAs long as I'm here the situation is clearIt'll be 50/50 take and givingHoney don't you see a lifetime's not much to asktake off your costume and remove your maskIf yes is what you will say we're gonna satrt from todayWe're gonna take it to the very topNever stop
