Andrea Martin | www.Marvin-Vibez.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanted for you to love me forever
I wanted to spend our lives together
I wanted to keep my arms around you
Oh
But somethin' told me somethin' ain't right with you
Time and time I tell myself again
There really wasn't nothin' that's wrong
But I finally know I should admit
That the truth is truth is baby
You never loved me at all
Na na na na no
I'll always remember when we used to talk on the phone
And how could I forget when we'd hold hands walkin' home
Ooo the memories that we made back then
Those moments always brought us so close
It seemed like they would never end
Now here I am standing alone
Time and time I tell myself again
That there really wasn't nothin' that's wrong
But I finally know I should admit
That the truth is truth is baby
You never loved me at all
(You never loved me at all)
You never loved me at all
(You never loved me at all)
Ooo
You never loved me loved me loved me at all
No
You never loved me loved me loved me at all
No
You never loved me at all
Ooo I knew it from the start baby
(You never loved me at all)
You were out to break hearts baby
You never loved me at all
But you will never ever ever ever ever ever break mine




(You never loved me at all)
Ohh no
