Lyrics Barry McGuire

Barry McGuire

You Never Had It So Good

I know you think I won't amount to anything

You keep reminding me

I'll never have the means

To buy you fancy clothes and

Treat you like I said some day I would...

And don't you complain, babe

Don't let me hear you complain, babe

You're riding on a lollipop train and

You never had it so good

Go on and sleep away

The memories of night time fun

I'd never hassle with you

Like most guys would have done

And I've never questioned you

'Bout where you go

And all the things you do

So, don't you complain, babe

Don't let me hear you complain, babe

You're riding on a lollipop train and

You never had it so good

The bed of roses that you seek

You could never lie in

Pretending to be what you're not, you see

Will only bring you crying...

Ah, you better roll it over in your mind carefully

Before you see that

You could do far better than me

Aw, look at the queen in her ragged gown

Demanding to her jester

A crown to hold

So don't you complain, babe

Don't let me hear you complain, babe

You're riding on a lollipop train and

You never had it so good

Yeah, don't you complain, babe

Don't let me hear you complain, babe

You're riding on a lollipop train and

You never had it so good

Don't you complain, babe

Don't let me hear you complain, babe

You're riding on a lollipop train
