Never Gonna Say I’m Sorry Lyrics

[Chorus]
I ain't never gonna say I'm sorry
I'm a clown for everyone
I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always here like a sun
I ain't never gonna say I'm sorry
I'm a clown for everyone
I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always here like a sun

[Verse 1]
I'm a loser, that is a fact, for sure
I am happy, even if you don't want
To invite me out for a dance tonight
I'm not normal, I know it
I don't care

[Chorus]
I ain't never gonna say I'm sorry
I'm not a clown for everyone
I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always here like a sun
I ain't never gonna say I'm sorry
I'm not a clown for everyone
I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always here like a sun
I'm always here like a sun
I'm always here
[Verse 2]
Like a ghost, I follow your steps so true
You don't have to bribe me or fill me up
Give me just a minute to shine with you
I can make you so happy, make you laugh

[Bridge]
I ain't never gonna say I'm sorry
For the essence of my soul
There's so many ways to change my life
'Cause I want to, woah-oh

[Break]
I'm like a clown, I have fun for everyone
I'm like a clown, I have fun for everyone
I'm like a clown, I have fun for everyone
I'm like a clown, I have fun for everyone

[Chorus]
I ain't never gonna say I'm sorry
I'm not a clown for everyone
I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always here like a sun
I ain't never gonna say I'm sorry
I'm not a clown for everyone
I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always here
[Outro]
I ain't never gonna say I'm sorry
I'm a clown for everyone

What did Ace of Base say about "Never Gonna Say I'm Sorry"?
Genius Answer

“We decided early on to do an ‘All That She Wants’ arrangement and drums because it’s always fun to have something old on a new record.
This song was recorded and produced in the ‘long-drink summer’ of ‘94 when a vodka cranberry was never wrong.
The whole team from Cherion including producers and artists would meet up together at the end of a long day (who knows when that is) and on such an occasion we had a fantastic atmosphere going for us. From that time on the whole production at Cherion was great.
This song is about that you should never be sorry for the person you are even though people make fun of you. Let them have that, who cares…”
