Y ou never c ross my mind y ou can be s ure
Y ou'll never c atch my eye w aiting for you w atching the door
I let you ho ld me dry lip k iss me on the d ance hall floor

N ever yours never yours
Never yours n ever yours
N ever yours never yours
Never yours n ever yours

A game of p ool or cards I repay my f amily's debt
