You Never Had It So Good
Sweet Irony of a Lollipop Train: Unveiling the Hidden Harmony in 'You Never Had It So Good'
Lyrics
I know you think I won't amount to anything,
I acknowledge that you doubt my future success.
You keep reminding me I'll never have the means
You consistently tell me that I won't have the financial means.
To buy you fancy clothes and treat you like I said some day I would.
I won't be able to afford luxurious items and fulfill promises I made.
And don't you complain, babe. Don't let me hear you complain, babe.
Do not express dissatisfaction, my love. Avoid complaining.
You're riding on a lollipop train and you never had it so good.
You're enjoying a carefree and comfortable life.
Go on and sleep away the memories of night time fun,
Forget the past joyful moments and sleep peacefully.
I'd never hassle with you like most guys would have done,
I haven't troubled you, unlike other men might have.
And I've never questioned you ‘bout where you go
I never questioned your actions and whereabouts.
and all the things you do.
So don't you complain, babe. Don't let me hear you complain, babe.
Don't voice your discontent, my dear. Avoid complaining.
You're riding on a lollipop train and you never had it so good.
You're living a pleasurable life without any hardships.
The bed of roses that you seek you could never lie in
Your pursuit of an easy life may lead to disappointment.
Pretending to be what you're not, you see, will only bring you crying.
Pretending to be someone else will only result in tears.
Ah you better roll it over in your mind carefully
Consider carefully before realizing you deserve better.
Before you see that you could do far better than me.
Reflect on the possibility of finding a better match.
Ow, look at the queen in her ragged gown
Observing a woman in worn attire requesting a crown.
demanding to her jester a crown to hold.
So don't you complain, babe. Don't let me hear you complain, babe.
Refrain from expressing discontent. Avoid complaining.
You're riding on a lollipop train and you never had it so good.
You continue to enjoy an easy and pleasant life.
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.
You're on a delightful journey, and things have never been better.
