Never Could

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You've been hurt by love And now you hate the world The night yields to dawn Now your dreams are all gone And you've got to go on without that girl [Chorus] It never could It never would It never can It never will 'Cause it's got the whole world moving While your feet are standing still It's got you staring into space It's knocked the smile right off your face Nothing's taken the place of love's sweet thrill No, nothing ever could or ever will [Verse 2] She's hit you and run And now you've lost the will To live [only mild?] Wear that false little smile Just knowing all the while you want her still [Chorus] It never could It never would It never can It never will 'Cause it's got the whole world moving While your feet are standing still It's got you staring into space It's knocked the smile right off your face Nothing's taken the place of love's sweet thrill No, nothing ever could or ever will [Bridge] Oh oh Damned [?] Oh oh Bound to your bed Love's cruel Haven't you read And it's [?] [Verse 3] You've been hurt by love But love's a well-known [lie?] It's stronger than smart It can break steel apart But it can't mend the heart she left to die [Chorus] It never could It never would It never can It never will 'Cause it's got the whole world moving While your feet are standing still It's got you staring into space It's knocked the smile right off your face Nothing's taken the place of love's sweet thrill Nothing's gonna fill the space she used to fill No, nothing ever could or ever will
