Never Again
Elvis Presley · Moody Blue
I can't take it anymore, IÂ’ve been hurt before
Never ever quite like this time
What will become of me when you're no longer here
If I can't stop loving you, what am I to do
You'll be free but where will I be
Now that IÂ’m used to love, how can I stand alone
Now that love has come and gone, like the ending of a song
A song my lonely heart keeps singing
Where do I go from here, will I get over you
If so, next time IÂ’ll be smart, IÂ’ll know before I start
A heart that don't care, don't get broken
I hope I never ever love anyone this much again
Never ever, never again
Never again
Never Again - Elvis Presley
Released on the 1967 album Moody Blue, "Never Again" stands as a poignant song in Elvis Presley's late-career catalog. The track exemplifies the artist's shift toward a more mature, soulful sound, blending rock and roll with elements of R&B and country that characterized his work during the mid-to-late 1960s. Recorded with a polished production style, the song features Presley's distinctive vocal delivery, characterized by a smooth, slightly husky tone that contrasts with the upbeat tempo of the arrangement. As part of Moody Blue, a collection of tracks recorded in the studio rather than live, the song reflects the era's evolving musical landscape and Presley's continued relevance as a performer who successfully adapted his style to new influences while maintaining his signature charisma. The recording remains a notable example of his discography from this period, showcasing his versatility beyond his earlier rock and roll hits.
