Though credit where credit is due; the lyrics you quote are all Hal David; Bacharach was the composer. I love "I'll Never Fall in Love Again." The man's ability to mix love and heartache was unequalled by anyone except Lorenz Hart.

Here's a great cover of it by Splitsville:

When they go into the ELO-esque harmonies for repeat of the third verse, my toes just curl in joy. Listen for the Buggles homage at the fade out.

I think Hal David died within the last year didn't he?
