You have incredible eyes and all the boys will go wild for you
|
But I was scared in case you made me made do those things
|
But would you oh would you believe me that I was your fool
|
Cause I've been lying awake at night wondering where you are now And if that metal turned out right
|
|
[refrain]
|
All my life all my life
|
I said it's not right
|
Nobody told me I could do something
|
Nobody told me I could be something
|
Yeah
|
I have tried I have tried
|
To say it's alright
|
Nobody told me I could do something
|
Nobody told me I could be something
|
|
You wore undoubtable smiles you were divorced from inside they said
|
But I was disturbed when I heard that it's not what you preferred It gets to the point they expected
|
And who are you to disappoint them anyway
|
Time will get you in the end
|
Just when you shook off that regret
|
Around the corner comes a Mary in a fur coat to talk about it
|
|
[refrain]
|
All my life all my life
|
I said it's not right
|
Nobody told me I could do something
|
Nobody told me I could be something
|
Yeah
|
I have tried I have tried
|
To say it's alright
|
Nobody told me I could do something
|
Nobody told me I could be something
|
|
Many words that have been spoken
|
Cut me out like paper dolls
|
Made me into something different
|
Something I could not dissolve
|
So far over don't their words slow ya
|
|
[refrain]
|
All my life all my life
|
I said it's not right
|
Nobody told me I could do something
|
Nobody told me I could be something
|
Yeah
|
I have tried I have tried
|
To say it's alright
|
Nobody told me I could do something
|
Nobody told me I could be something
|
