Song Description

A MAN LOOKS AT HIS SUCCESS IN BUSINESS AND PINES FOR A SIMPLER TIME IN HIS LIFE WHEN HE HAD LOVE AND NOT JUST MONEY AND POSSESSIONS

Lyrics

YOU NEVER KNOW?
Written by Paul Bradbury

NOTHING GOES THE WAY IT?S SUPPOSED TO GO
AND THERE ARE SO FEW WHO KNOW SHUCH A LIFE FILLED WITH TEDIUM
ANOTHER DAY? IT ALL LOOKS THE SAME TO ME
I JUST WANT TO RUN AWAY CAUSE MY LIFE?S STUCK ON MEDIUM

WHERE?S THE PASSION THAT I?M SUPPOSED TO FEEL
OR HAS THAT PART OF LIFE JUST PASSED ME BY
WHATEVER?S OUT THERE.. I?M NOT SURE THAT IT?S ALL REAL
AND I BEGIN TO WONDER WHY

LOVE TO ME SEEMS A PLACE THAT?S SO FAR AWAY
AND I?D LIKE TO GO BACK SOMEDAY
IF I CAN JUST FIND THE TIME
BUT I?M STILL CAUGHT UP IN THE WEB I WEAVE
ENSNARED IN THE WEALTH AND GREED
SO I KEEP UP THE DAILY GRIND

IF IT?S SO IMPORTANT WHY DO I LONG FOR SOMETHING ELSE
I HAVE ENOUGH TO BUY IT ALL
BUT THAT DON?T MATTER WHEN YOU?RE STANDING BY YOURSELF
WITH NO ONE TO SHARE AND NO ONE TO CALL

NO ONE TO CALL? YOU?RE BY YOURSELF
YOU?RE BY YOURSELF? YOU?RE BY YOURSELF.
MMMMMMMM

LYING BESIDE ME, SHE SNUGGLED UP CLOSER
AND WHISPERED YOU?RE ALL THAT I NEED
I DON?T ASK FOR DIAMONDS, RICHES OR PEARLS
BABY THAT?S NOT ME
I?VE SEEN WHAT HAPPENS TO OTHERS
WHO COVET SUCH WEALTH
WHO LONG FOR MATERIAL THINGS
ALL I ASK IS YOU LOVE ME, AND ALWAYS BE TRUE
ALL I WANT IS THE LOVE YOU BRING OH BABY

CAN?T YOU SEE THAT WE?RE LIVING A HEAVEN ON EARTH
WHAT WE?RE SHARING TONIGHT
ALL THE GOLD AND MONEY CAN?T BUY
THE LOVE THAT WE MAKE IN THE MOONLIGHT
I LOVE YOU FOR THE PERSON YOU ARE.. NOTHING MORE
NOT DIAMONDS OR PEARLS
WHEN YOU HOLD ME I FEEL SO SECURE
HERE IN YOUR ARMS YOU COMPLETE MY WORLD

BUT THE BIG CITY?S CALLING
IT SAID COME AND SEE ME
I FELT ITS ALLURE OF FORTUNE AND FAME
BUT WITH THOUSANDS OF SMILING STRANGERS COMPETING
IT LOST IT?S BEGILE ? NOW IT DON?T LOOK THE SAME TO ME?
IT DON?T LOOK THE SAME TO ME
MMMMMMM
OH BABY HOW I MISS YOU TONIGHT?.

SUB WAY RIDES WHILE READING THE DAILY NEWS
ENDLESS HOURS I CANNOT CHOOSE
ON THE FAST TRACK TO GOD KNOWS WHERE
WITH NAMELESS FACES THAT I?LL NEVER KNOW
ALL WORKING FOR THINGS THAT SHOW
THAT THEY?VE MADE IT?. THEY?RE FINALLY THERE

I GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT I?M SITTING ON THE TOP
BUT I STILL CAN?T BUY WHAT I REALLY NEED
AND IF YOU ADD UP ALL THE RICHES THAT I?VE GOT
YOU?D FIND THAT LIST IS INCOMPLETE

NO SECOND CHANCES IN THIS LIFE SO CHOOSE IT WELL
JUST BEWARE? YOU ONLY GET ONE SHOT
THE WORLD?S A FUNNY PLACE AND IT?S SO HARD TO TELL
WHEN YOU?RE BETTER OFF WITH WHAT YOU?VE GOT

NOTING GOES THE WAY IT?S SUPPOSED TO GO!!
