I Hope I Never - Split Enz

They're trying hard to put me in my place And that is why I've gotta keep running The future is mine and it's no disgrace 'Cause in the end the past means nothing You tell me I'm free then you tie me down And from my chains I think it's a pity What did it cost you to wear my crown? You don't like me why don't you admit it D'you feel a little down today? Bet you ain't got much to say? But you're gonna miss me when I'm not there You know I don't care, you know I don't care As we beg and steal and borrow Life is hit and miss and this I Hope, I Think, I Know And if I hear the names you call If I stumble catch me when I fall 'Cause baby after all, you'll never forget my name

I — I hope he makes you laugh The way you made me laugh in that photograph When you tickle my side on that dirt path Oh baby, I I hope he gets a test All of a sudden he'd forget just what you had His cold shoulder freezes over & it drives you mad Yea, I hope he gives you that look by the end of the drive I hope you give in & tell him he can come inside I hope you love and everything you see Tell your friends "it's just so happy" I hope he stops texting back first thing in the morning You see him at a bar and without a warnin' Stops loving unconditionally Does everything you ever did to me And then I hope he cheats like you did on me And then I hope he cheats oh, like you did on me And I, I know when you moved out You moved in with him to a new mapped out Heard you brought him in town to our favorite spot Oh baby, you You never will forget Everything that you said to me before you left That's why I'm writing this song Just to prove you were wrong, yeah I hope he gives you that look by the end of the drive I hope you give in and tell him he can come inside I hope you love & everything you see Tell your friends "it's just so happy" I hope he stops texting back first thing in the morning You see him at a bar and without a warnin' Stops loving unconditionally Does everything you ever did to me And then I hope he cheats like you did on me And then I hope he cheats oh, like you did on me I hope you know I'll see you once again And I'll act like it's all good Until I tell you that it still gets under my skin I hope he gives you that look by the end of the drive I hope you give in & tell him he can come inside I hope you love and everything you see Tell your friends "it's just so happy" I hope he stops texting back first thing in the morning You see him at a bar and without a warnin' Stops loving unconditionally Does everything you ever did to me And then I hope he cheats like you did on me And then I hope he cheats oh, like you did on me Like you did on me, hmmm Yeah
