i never had a chance

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

never had a chance

never had a chance
