Weird over analysis on the unofficially dubbed 'Rick Paradox'

The statement is that Rick cannot give you up, but he can't let you down, so if he doesn't give you Up (the movie) he'll let you down but then

However, since we're taking each lyric as a fact, although rick says "Never gonna tell a lie" he also adds "and hurt you" taken literally this means that he cannot tell a lie and hurt you, but he can do each separately.

An further paradox is that he could be lying about the "Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you" meaning that he could be lying about "Never gonna give you up" or "Never gonna let you down".

Also, if we assume that he isn't lying about "Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you" the paradox still won't hold since even if you get hurt from him giving you up/letting you down he won't be hurting you directly
