Lyrics
My heart starts breaking
When I think of making
A plan to let you go
I keep thinking maybe tomorrow
I'm gonna let you know
But I when I think about leaving
I think about losing
The only love I ever knew
Every time I think of you
My heart starts aching
My hands keep shaking
And you know, you know, you know
It would take a strong, strong man
To ever let you go (to ever let you go)
To ever let you go
My heart's been hurting
When I see you flirting
Every night out on the floor
I keep thinking maybe tomorrow
You'll grow to love me more
But whenever we're together
I could leave you never
Even though you treat me cruel
Every time I look at you
My heart starts aching
My hands keep shaking
And you know, you know, you know
It would take a strong, strong man
To ever let you go (to ever let you go)
To ever let you go
I tried to resist you
When you're gone, all I ever do is miss you
Anyone in love would know
Anyone with half a heart
Could never let you go
But I when I think about leaving
I think about losing
The only girl I ever loved
Can't you tell me why do you hurt me
I guess some people never see
Especially a fool like me
My heart starts aching
My hands keep shaking
And you know, you know, you know
It would take a strong, strong man
To ever let you go (to ever let you go)
To ever let you go
To ever let you go
I'll never let you go
(To ever let you go)

The best Rick Astley song.

[@danielle31109]

I agree!!

[@sergesanchez9067]

J'adore

[@JavierMartinez-dk9qf]

I agree!! It’s sooo romantic!! 👍

[@DanielSantos-nz7ci]

Definitely his best song ever! Both the melody and the harmony freaking thrill me... and as for his voice in this song ... no comments needed. Outstanding song!

[@willyhwang1059]

100% agreed. It's my favourite.

[@fabriziovpp]

This is literally the best underrated song ever

[@adrienneflowersscott9290]

I so agree with you.

[@trinippl1]

FOR REAAALLLLLL

[@markverzosa7850]

You said it right.😊

[@Rocketman-gg1ds]

This is still my favorite Rick Astley song. Brings back a ton of good memories too

[@susiebell8496]

I just cannot get enough of this song!! One of his finest tunes!!

[@elbichito24]

It was the year 1988-1989 ... I really love this song. It reminds me of my childhood, my mom, my dad, my brothers, my aunts, my house, my dog, family parties on Saturday nights, and Sunday meals. They were such happy days when my only concern was to paint my drawings without getting out of line. Thank you very much Mr. Astley for making my childhood such happy days.

[@merrybluegirl8930]

I so love this comment. Me too. I remember my life when this song came out. Everything about it. Where I worked, going out, listening to the radio in my car at night. Such happy, sweet memories of a younger me.💙

[@spendingtimetogether8428]

I'm sure your nice family had a lot to do with that, and Rick was the cherry on top. Amazing how some songs can evoke such memories.👍❤

[@janinekloppers4937]

True story. We all have some great memories, thanks to Rick Astley.

[@user-jv9is7iw2t]

I am apparently your age. My 7th grade year was 88/89 and it's all still so meaningful to me. I absolutely love the way you worded your message. It just strikes a chord in me, there is nothing like this kind of song, filled with so much "yesteryear". Nostalgia runs high when these type of songs play. I look-back upon that time period so fondly, and I'm glad to be Generation X. Very glad to have grown up in that time period. Thank you for a great comment!

[@pennwoman]

Yes I loved those days too. I remember them well.

[@georgina1921]

One of the most incredible but most underrated voices of our times. Wow. Wow. Wow.

[@Ernie1978]

I truly believe in my heart that "It Would Take a Strong, Strong Man" was the classiest single record released in the 80s. That vocal performance coupled with that amazing guitar bit after the bridge and those backing vocals. An all-around flawless recording.

[@RocStarr913]

It’s a wonder it was Astley’s American distributor that saw its potential as a single.

[@m8852]

@@RocStarr913 And strangely (at least to me), it was released as a single only in the US and Canada. Also interesting to me that no other artists have recorded their own version since then.

[@dlee2033]

@Ernie I totally agree! I've always loved that guitar solo and the wink to "Feels So Good" by Chuck Mangione (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHW2c4lmq7mZitE guitar solo starts around 5:20). I can't ever listen to this song just once...it's always gotta be a triple lol

[@sccc6188]

xd

[@Ernie1978]

@Ron Rossmore It reached No.10 on the Hot 100 and No.1 on the Adult Contemporary so no flop. Sorry!

[@lolabelle4959]

Wow what a voice for a 23 yr old. Talent beyond his years!

[@11matt11]

This song was #1 only in Canada. And we're gosh darn proud of that. Good man and a great singer.

[@DannyintheSpirit]

This sounds like a Motown song recorded in the late 80s by a young man from England with a soulful voice.

[@mullinsjm1]

Songs like this remind me of how much I miss the 80s

[@jakeboado4370]

lets go back to the 80's❤️😛😸😔🙆🦜

[@-.Steven]

Never get tired of listening to this song! God bless Rick Astley! One of the greatest voices ever!!

[@janicejackson884]

I love this song. I have no idea how I missed this song until today when Rick Astley was on Kelly Clarkson's show. I just played it about 20 times. This is one of my all-time favorite songs already.

[@anngossage]

Same here!

[@Caldinovin]

It should be a crime to have a song this good be this underrated.

The fact my 8 year old son is bobbing his head to this song right now, made me smile so much!!

[@charly9927]

good music is timeless and appeals to people any age

[@timetraveltvniles7650]

Rick is so underrated, except Never Gonna Give You Up, that song gets the recondition it deserves.

[@mikekaraoke]

How when all of his songs still play on radio, and his albums still sell and does sold out tours!

[@hermozart9546]

He has a cool 'dude' voice.

[@dannyblankenship8154]

One of the underrated songs from Rick as you listen this is about love and pain that goes with relationships as life is tough and hard with love

[@patriciahelenadealmeida895]

This is a beautiful declaration of love and your magnificent voice

[@melissaallen3918]

Rick Astley is the genuine true blue ultimate unique mega voice of phenomenal talent. He was a kid when he originally sang this song & he has only become better. This man has a voice that is a force to be recond with....& he is kind, giving, talented & a great husband & dad. Amazing!!! & soooo much happiness & fun. I am addicted to Cry for Help, Angels, Uptown Funk & much more. Thank you Rick!!!!

[@victoria_elaine_treadaway71]

He was 22

[@callaco3176]

Joeveno That’s because it’s upscaled, this video is obviously from the 80s/90s, there’s only so much upscaling can do.

[@GABE_is_here]

@@callaco3176 i'm pretty sure they still keep the master recording (don't know what to call it) somewhere. they can scan the film in 4K like what they did to Dead or Alive video

completamente de acuerdo AMIGO

[@mikeycrist5086]

How could "Never Gonna Give You Up" have a billion views, "Together Forever" have 136 million, and this gem have less than 500,000? Of all his songs this was the best!

[@Speedrunner0218]

The first one was mainly due to the Rick roll meme

[@AlmondGlue]

@@Speedrunner0218 it was also in just dance

[@gregmeyer1805]

I think it's his best song but it's not his most popular, hence the astronomical views of Never Gonna Give You Up.

[@kimberlyelizabeth2049]

Bring back the man. ❤️

[@pje723]

Guitar solo is legit!

[@fl1431]

I was 16 when this song came out and I bought this album too. I met my very first love and she broke my heart. This song was played on repeat on my Walkman...bitter sweet memory!

[@leeanucha]

wow. at least you had this song. hope you are happy now somewhere :)

[@sonia354]

You never forget your first love- apparently that’s just as true for men, as it is for women. 🙈

In his songs, he sounds sincere. That's a huge part of his appeal. Many guys will talk the talk never walk the walk. Just saying everything never meaning anything. The world needs more sincerity.

It's almost a miracle. My brother sent me a piece of this song in a WhatsApp message, I used to listen to this song being a teenager/child. Tears came from my eyes with all the sudden memories. I saw my wife went to her, kissed her, hugged her. I had dedicated this song to her long before meeting her. Thank Rick, I am so thankful for this. God bless you even more.

[@alonzotanner1226]

I love this song. I saw the story where the writers composed this song to appeal to the US audience. It’s amazing what lengths the UK songwriters and producers went to just to captivate us out here. Still, I’m grateful for this. It’s probably my favorite song of his. Then Together Forever is my next favorite after this one.

[@timothyaugustine7093]

Love Hold Me in Your Arms as well due to the melody plus his deep manly British voice.
