Never gonna let you go away, you belong to me

We were meant to be in love, love
– I whakaaro mātou kia aroha, kia aroha

– Tangohia to wa, ka waiata noa a mark mo ’em, ka pouri ahau i te wa
When I heard you say, you don’t want no part of me no more
– I taku rongonga i a koe e ki ana, kaore koe e hiahia ki tetahi wahi o ahau
But I’m sorry, that you changed your mind, you’re staying in my life

When you cried for me to come back home and then you tell me
– I a koe e karanga ana kia hoki mai ahau ki te kāinga kātahi ka korerotia mai e koe ki ahau
Part-time loving just won’t do, I can’t say a word
– Ko te aroha i te wā-wā e kore e mahi, e kore e taea e au te kī i tētahi kupu

– Aue, me kua ahau he wairangi, engari tenei wa, tenei wa, e kore ahau e
Never gonna let you go away, you belong to me

And your friends are telling you that I’m not the one for you

But I’ll never, no, no never, let you go
– Otiia e kore ahau e, kahore, kahore, kia haere koe
