Never In My Life

(album: The Woman I Am - 1991)

All these years
You and I
Living in paradise
From so deep insight
Little voices cannot hide anymore
Dirty shirts and roses lay on the floor

You gave me everything that a grown-up needs
And I was just a little girl
I could live and teach you
Everything that I knew

I lived inside your world
I never even noticed
How much I felt so lonely

Never in my life
Have I just let go
Standing up and speaking my mind
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

There's a stranger crying in you
I'm not blaming you
It's the thing women do

And I want you to ever know
If I never had a say
I would drift away
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 let go
Standing up and speaking my mind
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

In our life together
We would be together
And I'm free

It would be all nice to say I'm satisfied
I have a life to live
But there's only so much you can give

Never in my life
Have I just let go
Standing up and speaking my mind
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 living in paradise
(Never in my life)
Never in my life
