Never got to be all you wanted
Never got to feel what you saw
I want the real thing
You can show me everything
Never got to play with the fire
Never got to roll with the dice
All I want, all I need
You'll always shelter me
Yeah yeah yeah I won't be, uh-huh
Yeah yeah yeah afraid of what’s to come
I've only just begun
Getting by, I'm getting by
No one here talks of what's to come
I don't know why, I don't know why
You know something that I don't lately
You know something I don't
I've been waiting for you to tell me
Won't you show me
Won't you save me
You never got to be what you wanted
Never got to feel what you saw
I want the real thing
You can show me everything
Never got to play with the fire
Never got to roll with the dice
All I want, all I need
You'll always shelter me, yeah
I won't be here for long
What's to hide, what's to hide
You think you know where I belong
That's a lie, that's a lie
That's a lie, that's a lie
Never got to be what you wanted
Never got to feel what you saw
I want the real thing
You can show me everything
Never got to play with the fire
Never got to roll with the dice
All I want, all I need
You'll always shelter me
Yeah yeah yeah I won't be, uh-huh
Yeah yeah yeah oh lonely la-di-da
Oh-la-di-da
Oh-la-di-da
Oh-la-di-da
La-di-da
La-di-da
La-di-da
Oh-la-di-da
