Eric carmen never gonna fall in love again

  • No use pretending things can still be right
    There's really nothing more to say
    I'll get along without your kiss tonight
    Just close the door and walk away

    Never gonna fall in love again
    I don't want to start with someone new
    Cause I couldn't bear to see it end
    Just like me and you
    No, I never want to feel the pain
    Of remembering how it used to be
    Never gonna fall in love again
    Just like you and me

    At first we thought that love was here to stay
    The summer made it seem so right
    But like the sun we watched it fade away
    From morning into lonely night Writer/s: Eric Carmen, Sergei Rachmaninoff
    Publisher: Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Universal Music Publishing Group, Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.
    Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

[Verse 1:]
No use pretending
Things can still be right
There's really nothing more to say

I'll get along
Without your kiss goodnight
Just close the door and walk away

[Chorus:]
Never gonna fall in love again
I don't wanna start with someone new
Cause I couldn't bear to see it end
Just like me and you

No, I never wanna feel the pain
Of remembering how it used to be
Never gonna fall in love again
Just like you and me

[Verse 2:]
At first we thought
That love was here to stay
The summer made it seem so right

But like the sun
We watched it fade away
From morning into lonely night

[Repeat Chorus x3:]

"Never Gonna Fall in Love Again" by Eric Carmen on YouTube

"Never Gonna Fall in Love Again" is a song co-written and recorded by American pop rock artist Eric Carmen. It was released as the second single from Carmen's self-titled debut solo album, the song peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in June 1976, remaining in the Top 40 for ten weeks.[1] The song reached number one on the Billboard Easy Listening chart. In Canada, it was a number-one hit on both charts.[2][3]

The melody of "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again" is based on the third movement (Adagio) from Symphony No. 2 by Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff.

On his second solo LP, Boats Against the Current, Carmen had a subsequent Top 40 hit entitled "She Did It", a happy answer to the loneliness and lovelessness described in this song and its equally melancholy predecessor, "All By Myself".

Television performance[edit]

Carmen performed "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again" and his prior hit, "All By Myself" on The Midnight Special television program on July 23, 1976 (season 4, episode 37). The show was hosted by The Spinners.[4]

Charts[edit]

Notable cover versions[edit]

Australian singer songwriter Mark Holden's 1975 debut studio album Dawn in Darkness, consisting entirely of original songs, sold approximately 2,000 copies, becoming a commercial failure.[12] In April 1976 Holden received a call from Colin Petersen, EMI Music Australia's A&R, who suggested he cover "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again". In his 2017 autobiography, Holden said recording it "was a chance for me to have a hit". Holden promoted the song by performing the track on Countdown, where he performed the track while handing out red carnations to the audience. It became an infamous performance which led to Holden's nickname of "The Carnation Kid"[13] The version, released in April 1976 as his debut single, peaked at number 13 on the Kent Music Report, becoming a commercial success.[14][15]

Unlike "All by Myself," Carmen's version of "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again" was not released in Australia and therefore did not chart. However, Dana reached #31 in the UK in 1976 with the song.[16] Her British release charted concurrently with Carmen's and Holden's versions.
