Never took a penny
|
Never told a lie
|
You made me so unhappy
|
Now I'm goin' to make you cry
|
|
You hit me hard
|
Hard as hell
|
You may as well
|
Have left me as for dead
|
|
I helped you play the fish
|
I never steered you wrong
|
Whatever you might wish
|
You know it's been my song
|
|
It took a long long time to become myself
|
|
With your American gift
|
Where there is money and skill
|
You gave another twist
|
To the proverbial screw
|
|
I should have looked deeper
|
Deeper still
|
Into your very soul
|
|
I gave you what was mine
|
Your wanting more belies
|
The fact that you've got dollar signs
|
In both your little eyes
|
|
I will cut out
|
The dead wood
|
The bad rot
|
Or find another love
|
|
Mercenary people
|
Messing with my heart
|
Nasty little devils
|
Always interfere with ours
|
|
I will survive
|
Despite you
|
I liked you
|
But now I'm on my own
|
|
I'm making merry music
|
I don't want to be sad
|
I've had a lot of trouble
|
But I'm not gonna stay mad
|
|
I will step out
|
All night
|
It feels right
|
To be on my own
|
|
All night
|
It feels right
|
To be on my own
|
|
I will step out
|
All night
|
It feels right
|
To be on my own
|
|
I'm making merry music
|
I don't want to be sad
|
I've had a lot of trouble
|
But I'm not gonna stay mad
|
|
I will step out
|
All night
|
It feels right
|
To be on my own ...
