Lyrics
Baby, I know you've been hearing lots of stories from
Your so-called friends about some of the things that
I've been doing. But listen, before you jump to conclusions
I want you to listen to what I have to say, alright?
He was just someone to talk to, oh, oh, oh, oh
An easy place to lay my problems down
But when I was lonely for you, baby, yeah yeah yeah
He always seemed, seemed to be around
And I never, never, never, never, never
Never meant to love him, no, no, no
And I never, never, never, never, never, never meant to care
All those empty nights, the lonely
Nights I spent without you, daddy, now
He was always (Always there)
Always (Always there)
Always there (Always there)
Oh, yeah, yeah (Always there)
And I never, never, never knew, I never
Knew when we said goodbye, yeah, yeah, yeah
You'd be the one, boy, to hang your head, hang your head and then cry
And it's so strange, so strange, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
How the game, how the game of love can change, yeah, yeah
He was just someone to turn to, yeah, yeah, yeah
Just a face, a face that made me smile
And I had no way, I had no way, I had no
Way, no way of knowing, no, no, no, no
That the need, the need for the boy was growing, no
And I never, never, never, never, never, never meant to love him
I'm telling you the truth now, boy
And I never, never, never, never, never
Never, never, never meant to care, now
All those empty nights, the lonely nights
I didn't have you beside me, baby, now
He was always (Always there)
Always (Always there)
Always there (Always there)
There, there, there (Always there)
Oh, baby, baby, baby, yeah (Never meant to love him)
Swear to you, swear to you I never meant to love him
No, no, I never (Never meant to)
I didn't intend to (Never meant to love him)
I didn't go and let myself fall for him, no
Oh, oh, baby, baby, please forgive me now (Never meant to)
Oh, no, ooh, no, oh, no (Never meant to)
Ooh, no, I never (Never meant to)
