Interesting, I wonder if people actually said that to each other romantically before the song came out. I doubt anyone could get away with whispering it in a tender moment nowadays.
My grandmother sometimes says it to people. Don’t know if I’ve heard it in the last year, though. She has special things for each of her grandchildren that she uses most of the time.
Oh, I thought you meant as directed toward myself. That’s still “never”, but I heard the words last when I listened to the Stevie Wonder song about a year ago.
