I could tell you how it was
But I doubt that you'd believe
Believe the storied truth
All of those tears without reprieve
 
Cause I've seen you sip that drink
With a careless hungry eye
And I've felt those tender shivers
But I was never meant to cry
I was never meant to cry
 
It's such a very crooked line
Here among the jungle boys
A little twist, a heavy spin
Combat nympho smile so coy
 
Cause I've seen you sip that drink
With a careless hungry eye
And I've felt those tender shivers
But I was never meant to cry
I was never meant to cry
 
I have heard the whispered truth
Lain awake Calcutta nights
While the liars sip vermouth
Long day's journey, is that right?
 
Cause I've seen you sip that drink
With a careless hungry eye
And I've felt those tender shivers
But I was never meant to cry
I was never meant to cry
 
I was never meant, never meant
Never meant to cry
I was never meant, never meant
Never meant to cry
I was never meant, never meant
Never meant to cry
Never meant to cry
Nevery meant to cry
