Nina Simone - Everytime We Say Good lyrics

I've never seen to many stars

(And I'm never gonna see them again)

I've never known such perfection

(And I'm never gonna know it again)

I've never felt so at home

(And I'm never gonna feel it again)

I want to open these veins

And never breathe again

Because the beauty is dead...

Since February 79'

I've O.D.'ed on "lonesome" 22 times

(But who's counting?)

You'd think by now - you would've died

I'm sorry girls - I tried

(Scream these words to me)

If imperfections are illegal

Then you should call the cops

And they should lock me up

You're such a slave to the crying game

(Scream these words to me)

We'll die alone

Picture me in brighter days

With smiles on my innocent face

(Did you forget me?)

I only wanted to be loved

I only wanted to be in love

(Scream these words to me)

If imperfections are illegal

Then you should call the cops

And they should lock me up

You're such a slave to the crying game

(Scream these words to me)

We'll die alone

Could you love a face

Full of tears soaked in song?

I can't decide...

I don't know if its worse to live or die

I am stuck on "never enough"

And the corner of "never again"

Here is a hint - don't call someone

Who just sits by the phone

Leave them alone

I loved the first few days

But its not fun playing a game

You always lose

I couldn't talk to save my life

I couldn't talk to save my life
