The "X.Y.U. Medley" from the Halloween 1998 show, which included one such tease of "Never Say Never", was included on the 2014 reissue of Adore.

Lyrics[edit | edit source]

Lyrics vary by performance. Below is adapted from the March 2, 2000 show.


i might like you better if we slept together
i might like you better if we slept together
i might like you better if we slept together
but there's something in your eyes that says "maybe"
that's never, never ever say never

i might like you better if you hadn't fucked so many guys
i might like you better if you didn't have wooden thighs

never ever ever say never
