Lyrics

Nothing would amount from our relationship
He'd never be the one for me
No, oh no
I saw the chance and knew I was taking it
I didn't listen
I didn't need your permission

Me, the darling of the family
He was from the wrong side of the tracks
Get on back
Not the one for Mama and Daddy
But for me he held the key to everything I lacked

And look at me today
Look at me today
You didn't believe we'd make it
Look at me today
Look at me today
I'm the one who went astray from heights above
Look at me today
Look at me today
I got love

Everything you had to offer me
Is not so accessible now
To that I bow
I hold my head up in this society
I'm not unhappy and you wonder how

You're dressed in satin, diamond and gold
You're looking pretty to the world
I bet that you'd exchange the lie
Just to feel what I do inside
