Never in My Life - Cherrelle

All these years

You and I

Living in paradise

From so deep insight

Little voices cannot hide anymore

Dirty shirts and roses lay on the floor

You gave me everything that a grown-up needs

And I was just a little girl

I could live and teach you

Everything that I knew

I lived inside your world

I never even noticed

How much I felt so lonely

Never in my life

Have I just let go

Standing up and speaking my mind

Can’t believe I’m many things

I never made sure

Never in my life

Did it matter to me

I’m never worth a fight

'Cause I never felt free

Never in my life

Never in my life

Falling in love

You sacrifice

Not so you disappear

Giving in to please someone

You think you need makes love so unclear

There’s a stranger crying in you

I’m not blaming you

It’s the thing women do

And I want you to ever know

If I never had a say

I would drift away

Little girls do grow old

I know what I have been missing

Just standing there in the shadow

In our life together

We would be together

And I’m free

It would be all nice to say I’m satisfied

I have a life to live

But there’s only so much you can give

Never in my life

Have I just let go

Standing up and speaking my mind

Can’t believe I’m many things

I never made sure

Never in my life

Did it matter to me

I’m never worth a fight

'Cause I never felt free

Never in my life

Did it matter to me

Never in my life

(I'm never worth a fight)

All these years

(Never in my life)

You and I living in paradise

(Never in my life)

Never in my life
