I Never Lyrics

Agree with Drucifer - it's a pretty straightforward song and clearly intends to evoke some retro genre of classic white soul/pop music. The music and lyrics are a little too schmaltzy for me, like a lot of what's on this particular album (Execution of all Things is far superior in my opinion), BUT Jenny's voice and persona pulls this together so well that I think this one actually works, as much as I might hate to admit it. I'm not sure anyone else could actually do this without it all deteriorating into a Celion Dion-like mess of pop goo.
