CH: Baby, you were never mine, never mine, no, never mine
Baby, you were never mine; my heart shoulda told me so.
Well, you came late to the party, but you were the last to leave,
And when you left, you had me on your arm
But you had someone else’s number up your sleeve.
And I woulda coulda shoulda known, but I just kept on loving you.
I told myself that you were all mine,
You mighta said “I don’t” but I heard “I do,”
I thought you were a magician, the way you could disappear,
And you always turned up back again
Just when I had to have you near
I only wanted to believe those sweet, sweet words were true.
You kept your secrets sealed up real tight
But my heart was keeping secrets too
