Never in My Life Lyrics

Hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, eh, eh

All these years, you and I
Living in paradise
From so deep inside
Little voices cannot hide anymore
Ohhh, oh
Dirty shirts and roses lay on the floor
You gave me everything that a grown-up needs
And I was just your little girl
I could leave it up to you and everything I do
I lived inside your world
I never even noticed how much I felt so lonely

Never in my life have I just been fooled
Standing up and speaking my mind, oh no
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
Oooh, baby
There's a stranger crying in the mirror
I'm not blaming you
It's the thing women do. Hey
And I want you to ever know (Know)
If I never had a say, I would drift away. (Oooh.)
Little girls do grow old
I know what I have been missing
Just standing there in the shadow
Never in my life have I just been fooled
Standing up and speaking my mind, oooh, whoa
Can't believe I'm many things I never been sure
Never in my life did it matter to me
I'm never worth a fight, 'cause I never felt free
Whoa, oh, oh

In our life together
You would be forever and I'm free
Oh, oh, oh
It would be a lie to say I'm satisfied
I have a life to live
But there's only so much you can give
Whoo! Yeah, yeah, yeah

Never in my life have I just been fooled
Standing up and speaking my mind, oh baby
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 (Oooh, oooh wee.) living in paradise
Never in my life
Never in my life
Oh, eh, eh, oh
