Lovers That Never Were - Paul McCartney

I have always needed somebody, girl

But I close the doors to keep out the world

But for you

I would be here all alone

Locked in a photograph

All of the clocks have run down

Lover beware

We’ll be the lovers that never were

I hang patiently on every word you send

Will we ever be much more than just friends?

As for you

You sit there playing this game

You keep me waiting

When all of the clocks have run down

All over the world

We’ll be the lovers that never were

For as long as the sun shines

In somebody’s eyes

I believe in you, baby

So don’t tell me lies

For as long as the trees

Throw down blossoms and leaves

I know there will be A parade of unpainted dreams

And I know, dear

How much it’s going to hurt

If you still refuse to get your hands dirty

So you

You must tell me something… I love you

Say goodbye or anything

All of the clocks have run down

Time’s at an end

If we can’t be lovers we’ll never be friends

For as long as the sun shines

In somebody’s eyes

I believe in you, baby

So don’t tell me lies

For as long as the trees

Throw down blossoms and leaves

I know there will be A parade of unpainted dreams
