Never Took A Penny

Never took a penny Never told a lie You made me so unhappy Now I'm 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 it's 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 you've 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 I'm on my own I'm making merry music I don't want to be sad I've had a lot of trouble But I'm 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 I'm making merry music I don't want to be sad I've had a lot of trouble But I'm not gonna stay mad I will step out All night It feels right To be on my own ... --- Never Took a Penny - Tom Tom Club
