Irving Berlin Lyrics
"I Never Had A Chance"

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
