Never Had It So Good

(mary chapin carpenter/john jennings)



No one's got to tell me it's over

I could see it from miles away

No one's got to tell me

What i don't already know today

No one's got to tell me they've seen you

On the town with an old girlfriend

No one's got to tell me

You look like you've fallen in love again



'cause you're out of my life now

With a wave of her hand

You never had it so good babe

I never had it so bad

Now you can do what you want to

And never feel sad

You never had it so good babe

I never had it so bad



No one's got to tell me the difference

Between me and the one who's returned

No one's got to tell me

You never really got over her

No one's got to tell me they've seen you

Looking like a brand new man

No one's got to tell me

You look like you've fallen in love again



'cause you're out of my life now

With a wave of her hand

You never had it so good babe

I never had it so bad

Now you can do what you want to

And never feel sad

You never had it so good babe

I never had it so bad



So you just go where you go

And do what you do

And be who you want to be

But when she burns you again

And your phone doesn't ring

Baby it's me



'cause you're out of my life now

With a wave of her hand

You never had it so good babe

I never had it so bad

Now you can do what you want to

And never feel sad

You never had it so good babe

I never had it so bad
