You have incredible eyes  And all the boys would go wild for you But I was scared  In case you made me do those dares  Oh, would you  Oh, would you believe me  That I was your fool?  'Cause I've been lying awake at night  Wondering where you are now  And if that mettle turned out right   "All my life  All my life", she said "It's not right Nobody told me I could do something  Nobody told me I could be something  I have tried  I have tried", she said  "It's alright, but  Nobody told me I could do something  Nobody told me I could be something"  You wore indelible smiles  You were divorced from inside, they said But I was disturbed when I heard that it's not what you preferred  It gets to the point they expect it And who are you to disappoint them anyway?  Time will get you in the end  Just when you shook off that regret  Around the corner comes that memory, in a fur coat, to talk about it   "All my life  All my life", she said "It's not right Nobody told me I could do something  Nobody told me I could be something  I have tried  I have tried", she said  "It's alright, but  Nobody told me I could do something  Nobody told me I could be something"  Many words that have been spoken cut me out like paper dolls Made me into something different Something I could not dissolve It's over Over Don't let their words control you  "All my life  All my life", she said "It's not right Nobody told me I could do something  Nobody told me I could be something  I have tried  I have tried", she said  "It's alright, but  Nobody told me I could do something  Nobody told me I could be something" "1051
