"Never Say Never" is a 1997 single by That Dog, and the second track on the band's third album, Retreat from the Sun.

Overview

"Never Say Never" is arguably the band's biggest song, albeit only a minor hit overall. A video and CD single were issued to promote the single. The single's B-sides include exclusive song "Little Miss Riding Hood", and an acoustic version of "Silently", a song originally from the album Totally Crushed Out!. This version features Beck on accompanying banjo, and also surfaced on the 1998 benefit compilation Hear You Me! A Tribute To Mykel And Carli. Former Go-Go and Anna Waronker's sister-in-law Charlotte Caffey plays guest keyboards on the lead track.

Lyrics

I was blind as a bat
And still knew where you were at
I was deaf and dumb
And still knew that you're the only one

I could show up at your door
And still know what you're looking for
I could wait in your line
And if you had no money I'd give you my last dime

I never (never, never) took it out
No, I never (never, never) took it out on you
No, I never (never say never) take it out on you

No, I never (never, never) took it out
No, I never (never, never) take it out on you
No, I never (never, never) took it out
No, I never (never, never) take it out on you

Never say never
Never say never
Never say never
Never, never
