Never Took A Penny Lyrics - Tom Tom Club

Never took a penny 

Never told a lie 

You made me so unhappy 

Now I'm goin' to make you cry 

You hit me hard 

Hard as hell 

You may as well 

Have left me as for dead 

I helped you play the fish 

I never steered you wrong 

Whatever you might wish 

You know it's been my song 

It took a long long time to become myself 

With your american gift 

Where there is money and skill 

You gave another twist 

To the proverbial screw 

I should have looked deeper 

Deeper still 

Into your very soul 

I gave you what was mine 

Your wanting more belies 

The fact that you've got dollar signs 

In both your little eyes 

I will cut out 

The dead wood 

The bad rot 

Or find another love 

Mercenary people 

Messing with my heart 

Nasty little devils 

Always interfere with ours 

I will survive 

Despite you 

I liked you 

But now I'm on my own 

I'm making merry music 

I don't want to be sad 

I've had a lot of trouble 

But I'm not gonna stay mad 

I will step out 

All night 

It feels right 

To be on my own 

All night 

It feels right 

To be on my own 

I will step out 

All night 

It feels right 

To be on my own 

I'm making merry music 

I don't want to be sad 

I've had a lot of trouble 

But I'm not gonna stay mad 

I will step out 

All night 

It feels right 

To be on my own ...
