You Never Had It So Good

(album: Eve Of Destruction - 1965)

I know you think I won't amount to anything
You keep reminding me
I'll never have the means
To buy you fancy clothes and
Treat you like I said some day I would...

And don't you complain, babe
Don't let me hear you complain, babe
You're riding on a lollipop train and
You never had it so good

Go on and sleep away
The memories of night time fun
I'd never hassle with you
Like most guys would have done
And I've never questioned you
'Bout where you go
And all the things you do

So, don't you complain, babe
Don't let me hear you complain, babe
You're riding on a lollipop train and
You never had it so good

The bed of roses that you seek
You could never lie in
Pretending to be what you're not, you see
Will only bring you crying...

Ah, you better roll it over in your mind carefully
Before you see that
You could do far better than me
Aw, look at the queen in her ragged gown
Demanding to her jester
A crown to hold

So don't you complain, babe
Don't let me hear you complain, babe
You're riding on a lollipop train and
You never had it so good

Yeah, don't you complain, babe
Don't let me hear you complain, babe
You're riding on a lollipop train and
You never had it so good

Don't you complain, babe
Don't let me hear you complain, babe
You're riding on a lollipop train
