Lyrics
Original lyrics:We're no strangers to love
                        You know the rules and so do I

                        A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
                        You wouldn't get this from any other guy

Our meaning: He is telling the girl that she cannot get another guy like him as he knows what will 
                       happen if they fall in love.      

Original lyrics: I just want to tell you how I'm feeling
                         Gotta make you understand    
Our meaning: He wants to let the girl know how much he feels for her.

Original lyrics:Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
                        Never gonna run around and desert you
                        Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye

                        Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Our meaning: He is trying to tell her that he is not going to give on her no matter what will happen.

Original lyrics:We've known each other for so long
                        Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
                        Inside we both know what's been going on
                        We know the game and we're gonna play it
Our meaning: He knows that the girl likes him but is to shy to say it. 

Original lyrics:And if you ask me how I'm feeling 
                        Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Our meaning: He is saying that if the girl is asking how he feels means that she is too blind to see
                       how he is feeling.

Original lyrics:Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
                        Never gonna run around and desert you
                        Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye
                        Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Our meaning: He is trying to tell her that he is not going to give on her no matter what will happen.

Original lyrics:(Ooh give you up)
                        (Ooh give you up)
                        (Ooh) Never gonna give, never gonna give (give you up)
                        (Ooh) Never gonna give, never gonna give (give you up)Our meaning:He is trying to tell her that he is not going to give on her no matter what will happen.

Our full opinion of the song and the music video:
We found the song extremely catchy as it has the funk sound back in the 80's. However, we think the music video does not really match the song because it is just about him singing and bunch of other people dancing when it should be about him trying to get the girl he loves but that is our opinion anyway.
