I Never Had A Chance lyrics

Song information

Artist: Irving Berlin
Album: Cheek To Cheek: Irving Berlin Songbook

Lyrics

I guess there's nothing to do
And nothing to say
But simply go on my way
And call it a day

I guess I'm ready to go
Right back on the shelf
Because at last I've learned
Where you're concerned
I've just been fooling myself

I never had a chance
I thought you cared for me
But now I see I never had a chance
I never had a chance
Though you never told me so
Somehow I know I never had a chance

I knew we'd have to part
For I could always reach your lips
But I could never reach your heart
My dream about romance
Ended in a friendly chat
But more than that
I never had a chance

I never had a chance
I thought you cared for me
But now I see I never had a chance
I never had a chance
Though you never told me so
Somehow I know I never had a chance

I knew we'd have to part
For I could always reach your lips
But I could never reach your heart
My dream about romance
Ended in a friendly chat
But more than that
I never had a chance
