Never

Never should have wasted your time
Never should have told you what’s wrong
Never should have stepped on that crack in the sidewalk
Never should have sung that song

Maybe I should have known what to say
Or maybe I’m a red old rooster crowing the break of a bad bad day
So if you think it’s for the best
I could go away right now and let you get some rest

Never should have wasted your time
Never should have told you what’s wrong
Never should have broken that antique mirror
Never should have sung that song

You could tell me where to go now
You could shout it off the top of a creaky ferris wheel
You could spread your checkered blanket down
You could tell me how I should think and feel

Never should have wasted your time
Never should have told you what’s wrong
Never should have crossed that black cat path
Never should have sung that song

Never should have wasted your time
Never should have told you what’s wrong
Never should have spilled that salt at my feet
Never should have sung that song
