Never Took a Penny — текст песни (Tom Tom Club)

Never took a penny

Never told a lie

You made me so unhappy

Now Im goin to make you cry



You hit me hard

Hard as hell

You may as well

Have left me as for dead



I helped you play the fish

I never steered you wrong

Whatever you might wish

You know its been my song



It took a long long time to become myself



With your american gift

Where there is money and skill

You gave another twist

To the proverbial screw



I should have looked deeper

Deeper still

Into your very soul



I gave you what was mine

Your wanting more belies

The fact that youve got dollar signs

In both your little eyes



I will cut out

The dead wood

The bad rot

Or find another love



Mercenary people

Messing with my heart

Nasty little devils

Always interfere with ours



I will survive

Despite you

I liked you

But now Im on my own



Im making merry music

I dont want to be sad

Ive had a lot of trouble

But Im not gonna stay mad



I will step out

All night

It feels right

To be on my own



All night

It feels right

To be on my own



I will step out

All night

It feels right

To be on my own



Im making merry music

I dont want to be sad

Ive had a lot of trouble

But Im not gonna stay mad



I will step out

All night

It feels right

To be on my own ...
