Wikipedia:
In early 1976, Mark Holden received a call from Colin Petersen, EMI Music Australia’s A&R representative, who suggested he cover Eric Carmen’s Never Gonna Fall in Love Again. In his 2017 autobiography, Holden said “This was a watershed moment, the opportunity to do covers versus originals. I didn’t have a lot of new material. I was a greasy-haired folkie hippie, and the first album had sucked up everything I’d done… Recording Never Gonna Fall in Love Again was a chance for me to have a hit”.
The song peaked at #13 on the Australian Kent Music Report, which was followed up by I Wanna Make You My Lady, an English-version of the Swedish song Jag ska fånga en ängel by Ted Gärdestad, which peaked at #11.

Lyrics:
No use pretending things can still be right
There’s really nothing more to say
I’ll get along without your kiss goodnight
Just close the door and walk away
