You have incredible eyes and all the boys will go wild for you But I was scared in case you made me made do those things But would you oh would you believe me that I was your fool Cause I've been lying awake at night wondering where you are now And if that metal turned out right (refrain) All my life all my life I said it's not right Nobody told me I could do something Nobody told me I could be something Yeah I have tried I have tried To say it's alright Nobody told me I could do something Nobody told me I could be something You wore undoubtable smiles you were divorced from inside they said But I was disturbed when I heard that it's not what you preferred It gets to the point they expected And who are you to disappoint them anyway Time will get you in the end Just when you shook off that regret Around the corner comes a Mary in a fur coat to talk about it (refrain) All my life all my life I said it's not right Nobody told me I could do something Nobody told me I could be something Yeah I have tried I have tried To say it's alright Nobody told me I could do something Nobody told me I could be something Many words that have been spoken Cut me out like paper dolls Made me into something different Something I could not dissolve So far over don't their words slow ya (refrain) All my life all my life I said it's not right Nobody told me I could do something Nobody told me I could be something Yeah I have tried I have tried To say it's alright Nobody told me I could do something Nobody told me I could be something
