I Never

I'm only a woman

Of flesh and bone

And I wept much, we all do

I thought I might die alone

But I

Had never, never, never, never, never

Never, never, never, never

Never, never met you

So, baby, be good to me

I got nothing to give you, you see

Except everything, everything

Everything, everything

All the good

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And the bad

'Cause I've been bad

I've lied, cheated, stolen

And been ungrateful for what I have

And I'm afraid habits rule my waking life

I'm scared and I'm running in my sleep, for you

But all of the oceans, and rivers, and showers

I'll wash it all away and make me clean, for you

'Cause I

Had never, never, never, never, never

Never, never, never, never

Never, never, never, never

Never, never met you

So let's take a loan out, put it down on a house

In a place we've never lived

In a place that exists in the pages of scripts

And the songs that they sing

And all of the beautiful things

That make you weep

But don't have to make you weak

'Cause I-I-I-I-I

Never, never, never, never, never

Never, never, never, never

Never, never, never, never

Never, never, never, never

Never, never, never, never

Never, never, never, never

Never, never loved somebody

The way that I loved you
