You were never mine
by delbert mcclinton
I saw someone again today
who remembered me and you
they asked all the same old questions
i gave the same excuse
thet said what a shame, what a shame
to lose a love so fine
but i never lost you, i never lost you
i never lost you, you were never mine
I kept on believing
what i wanted to believe
the unspoken promises
that you could never keep
but it's a sin, oh it's a sin
to tell yourself a lie
i never lost you, i never lost you
i never lost you, you were never mine
Did you give me all you gave me
just because i needed you
but when i needed all your love completely
was it more than you could do
Sometimes deep in the night
when i hold you in my dreams
i get lost in your loving touch, baby
i can't believe how real it seems
and i know, yes i know
i'll have you 'till the end of time
'cause i never lost you, i never lost you
i never lost you 'cause you were never mine
I never lost you, i never really lost you
how could i lose you, you were never mine
