Lyrics Gilbert O'Sullivan

Gilbert O'Sullivan

The Best Love I Never Had

I say a prayer for those who

Unlike me

Suffer some form of brutality

I get no kicks from mugging pensioners

I don't believe that that's all they're good for

You know I love you

And I always will

I keep a picture of you on me still

It's so sad

You were the best love I never had

I see you've brought your children along too

The little one she looks a lot like you

I'm sure you must be very proud of them

I'd love to have a child myself but then

On second thoughts I think I'd better leave

This talk of children is upsetting me

It's so sad

You were the best love I never had

And I can't for the life of me fathom

Out why Eve when she met up with Adam

Didn't know they would put at risk

Every man, woman, child

For the bite of an apple

Remember days of wine and daffodils

A hand upon your breast oh what a thrill

It's so sad

You were the best love I never had

You make your bed

And then you lie in it

Wouldn't the truth be more appropriate

It's so sad

You were the best love I never had

The best love I never had

The best love I never had

The best love I

The best love I

The best love I never had
