Lyrics for They Never Got You

You where you were coming up Did you think everyone knew Something unclear And when you thrown in a crowd Could you believe yourself Did you repeat yourself Cause no one will hear Just say it again Cause they never got you and you never got them Uh-huh Don't let it break Don't let it start Don't let 'em in Don't go too far Cover your tracks Cover the path to the heart Don't let those footholds start And don't let no one in Cause they never got you and you never got them Uh-huh You when you were breaking up Oh now they... they was just waking up Just waking up And back in that place where you could fall Did it pay to play along That's where I'm coming from I'd rather roll it myself Just let it be Cause I never got them and they never got me No I never got them and they never got me
