Mel Tillis - I Ain't Never

I Ain't Never

Mel Tillis performs "I Ain't Never"

"I Ain't Never" is a song co-written by American country music artists Webb Pierce and Mel Tillis. Each co-writer recorded the song separately, with Pierce's 1959 recording and Tillis's 1972 version both becoming major country hits.

According to Tillis, he wrote the song himself, and agreed to credit Pierce as a co-writer in exchange for a pair of boots Pierce was wearing when Tillis pitched him the song. In Tillis's words, "Them old boots cost me over eight hundred thousand dollars" in royalties.

Mel Tillis - I Ain't Never Lyrics

Well I ain't never, I ain't never

Seen nobody like you no, no, no

Never have I ever seen nobody like you

Lord you call me up and say, "Meet me at nine"

I have to hurry hurry but I'm there on time

I walk right up and I knock on your door

The landlord says, "She ain't a here no more"

I ain't never, oh darling seen nobody like you

But I love you yeah I love you girl

I love you just the same

When you tell me sweet things that you don't mean

You've got me living in a hunted dream

You make me do things I don't wanna do

My friends ask me Tillis what's wrong with you

I ain't never, oh darling seen nobody like you

But I love you yeah I love you girl

I love you just the same

Love you just the same, love you just the same
