Not Fade Away Lyrics

I’m a-gonna tell you how it’s gonna be
you’re gonna give your love to me
I wanna love you night and day
you know my love a-not fade away
a-well, you know my love a-not fade away

My love a-bigger than a cadillac
I try to show it and you drive a-me back
your love for me a-got to be real
for you to know just how I feel
a love for real not fade away

I’m a-gonna tell you how it’s gonna be
you’re gonna give your love to me
a love to last a-more than one day
a love that’s love - not fade away
a well, a-love that’s love - not fade away

Great song. So many band s have covered and reworked this song, I'm pretty sure The Who based My Generation on this... Great opening line...

Nothing like Gary Busey singing this on Celebrity Apprentice to make me finally realize how creepy this song is.

In the first verse he demands her love "I’m a-gonna tell you how it’s gonna be" and in the second admits that it isn't reciprocal "I try to show it and you drive a-me back". This isn't about a man and woman in love; it's the ravings of a spurned stalker.
