IRVING BERLIN - I Never Had A Chance lyrics

I guess there's nothing to do

And nothing to say,

But simply go on my way

And call it a day.

I guess I'm ready to go

Right back on the shelf,

Because at last I've learned

Where you're concerned,

I've just been fooling myself.

I never had a chance,

I thought you cared for me,

But now I see I never had a chance.

I never had a chance.

Though you never told me so,

Somehow I know I never had a chance.

I knew we'd have to part,

For I could always reach your lips

But I could never reach your heart.

My dream about romance

Ended in a friendly chat.

But more than that,

I never had a chance.

I never had a chance,

I thought you cared for me,

But now I see I never had a chance.

I never had a chance.

Though you never told me so,

Somehow I know I never had a chance.

I knew we'd have to part,

For I could always reach your lips

But I could never reach your heart.

My dream about romance

Ended in a friendly chat.

But more than that,

I never had a chance.
