| | Never Yours Lyrics Artist(Band):Tracy Chapman
Less than I should Say I have known some Too well for my own good Say I´m a saint of mercy Say I´m a whore I´ve been a lot of things But never yours I wear my mama´s dress Her finest clothes Daddy showed me outside To meet you on the front porch I laugh at all your jokes But you look bored I´ve been a lot of things but never yours You never cross my mind You can be sure You´ll never catch my eye Waiting for you watching the door I let you hold me Dry lip kiss me on the dance hall floor I´ve been a lot of things But never yours Never yours Never yours Never yours Never yours Never yours Never yours Never yours Never yours So you say you won It was a bet A game of pool or cards I repay my family´s debt I let you lie beside me With no remorse I´ve been a lot of things But never yours Say I have known some Less than I should Say I have known some Too well for my own good Say I´m a saint of mercy Say I´m a whore I´ve been a lot of things But never yours If you find some error in Never Yours Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Never Yours Whore | Reviewer: Shimona | 12/18/08 I think it's a bout a woman in her 30's, who has fallen in love with an extrodinary woman. The one she loves is busy and involved, and she sits and write this remembering how her parents had tried to set her up with most imporatntly a man, the reference to clothes shows an attempt to gender their daughter. oh my God | Reviewer: adela | 3/1/08 it's the 5-th time a listen this song in 30 minutes and ... God it's so beautiful...I'd like to something of sure about this song...even I think also that everybody can interpret the song as they wish...as they live it....like every son of TC...I love uuuuuuu ....kiiissseeesss from Albania Moving.. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/14/08 I think that this is about black women in the past and how in order to pay off their family's debts, would have an arranged marriage with a wealthy man. This man would then use her for his own entertainment.. and so she says, "I've been a lot of things[for you], but never yours[my heart you cannot take.]" My thoughts follow-up | Reviewer: Geraldine Mckavanagh | 9/29/07 You never cross my mind You can be sure You´ll never catch my eye Waiting for you watching the door I think we can decipher from this she doesn't like the person. My thoughts | Reviewer: Geraldine Mckavanagh | 9/29/07 It's interesting, I always saw this song as a guy liking her (Tracy Chapman) and TC wasn't interested but then the line "I laugh at all your jokes but you look bored" shows she may be making an effort. So... IS this guy a girl? Maybe she loved her and it just didn't work out but the way I have always seen this song and what I imagine when I hear it is a straight guy asking TC out and TC saying no because she's not interested in guys. So sad | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/19/07 I think this is about a young girl whose parents lost some sort of "bet" and used her as payment. It's very sad that these kinds of situations exists in the world. "I'm just a little girl and I've already seen the ugliness of humanity way before my time." "My parents made me go out with you so I'm just playing along." "You're a nobody to me and I can't wait to get out of here. I'll let you do whatever you want to me but my soul belongs to me... not you." "I'll sleep with you because that's what my parents owe you when they lost whatever bet it was... but my soul belongs to me... not you." "I'm just a kid. I shouldn't be in these kinds of situations but I guess this is reality. Am I a savior of my family for what they owe? Or Am I just a whore? Whatever it is, my soul belongs to me... not you." very good | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/13/07 I love this song. it gives you that feeling, you know? like, i've been so many things, but i've never been yours. its so sadly beautiful! I'm not so sure | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/12/07 I disagree with you all. She doesn't WANT to be his. "I let you hold me and dry lip kiss me" Doesn't sound like she wanted to be held or kissed. "I repay my Family's debt..." ...I don't know...It's sad, that's for sure, but not because she can't get the guy. Amazing | Reviewer: Crystal | 8/11/07 Her music has been a favorite of mine since she first came out. She has something about her voice something deep and meaningful it hits you like a train. Everytime I hear her I get goosebumps I hope she releases new stuff soon I am sure she won't let us down. touches the right spot | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/14/07 this song causes an ache in my heart. Everytime i hear it i think of this one girl whom i loved so much and tried to show her how i felt but she just didn't let me into her heart. I couldn't stop thinking of her even in other relationships although, we are very good friends. Each time i hear this song a thought occurs to me "i've been alot of things, but never hers" Review By Pages: 1 2 Review the song Never Yours The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
