Smiths - You've Got Everything Now (Tate) lyrics

rate me

As merry as the days were long <br />

I was right and you were wrong <br />

<br />

Back at the old grey school <br />

I would win and you would lose <br />

<br />

<br />

But you've got everything now <br />

You've got everything now <br />

And what a terrible mess I've made of my life <br />

Oh, what a mess I've made of my life <br />

<br />

<br />

No, I've never had a job <br />

Because I've never wanted one <br />

<br />

<br />

I've seen you smile <br />

But I've never heard you laugh <br />

<br />

<br />

So who is rich and who is poor ? <br />

I cannot say ... oh<br />

<br />

<br />

You are your mother's only son <br />

And you're a desperate one <br />

Oh ... <br />

<br />

<br />

But I don't want a lover <br />

I just want to be seen ... oh ... in the back of your car <br />

<br />

<br />

A friendship sadly lost ? <br />

Well this is true ... and yet, it's false <br />

Oh ... <br />

<br />

<br />

But did I ever tell you, by the way ? <br />

I never did like your face <br />

Oh ... <br />

<br />

<br />

But you've got everything now <br />

You've got everything now <br />

And what a terrible mess I've made of my life <br />

Oh, what a mess I've made of my life <br />

<br />

<br />

No, I've never had a job <br />

Because I'm too shy <br />

<br />

<br />

I've seen you smile <br />

But I've never really heard you laugh <br />

<br />

<br />

So who is rich and who is poor ? <br />

I cannot say ... oh<br />

<br />

<br />

Oh ... <br />

You are your mother's only son <br />

And you're a desperate one <br />

Oh ... <br />

<br />

<br />

But I don't want a lover <br />

I just want to be tied ... oh ... to the back of your car <br />

To the back of your car <br />

To the back of your car <br />

To the back of your car <br />

The back of your car <br />

To the back of your car <br />

Oh ...
