About "Never Ever Getting Rid of Me" (Commentary) - Sara Bareilles

I will never let you let me leave; I promise I'm not lyin'

Go ahead, ask anybody who has seen me tryin'

I'm not going

If it seems like I did, I'm probably waiting outside

Such a stubborn man, you'll likely never meet another

When we have our family dinner, you can ask my mother

She's the best

You'll learn all about her on our family history test

I'm gonna do this right

Show you I'm not moving

Wherever you go, I won't be far to follow

Oh, I'm gonna love you so

You'll learn what I already know

"I love you" means you're never ever ever getting rid of me

You can try

Oh, but I

"I love you" means you're never ever ever getting rid of me

I grew up an only child in a suburb of the city

Spent my days alone; my only friend was a stray kitty called Sardine

I thought it was hilarious to call a cat a kind of fish

She played hard to get, hissing while she scratched me

What she was trying to say was "Ogie, come and catch me"

I learned quickly

That perseverance stood between a cat and her new best friend: me!

Oh, I'm gonna do this right

Show you I'm not moving

Wherever you go, I won't be far to follow

Oh, I'm gonna love you so

You'll learn what I already know

"I love you" means you're never ever ever getting rid of me

You can try

Oh, but I

"I love you" means you're never ever ever getting rid of me

You can try

Oh, but I

"I love you" means you're never ever ever getting rid of me
