Never Wanted Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Never wanted, never needed
You said, "Honey, best be leaving"
If you want, I'll pack a bag
Foreign money in your hand
In your hand, baby

[Verse 2]
Tube of toothpaste, facial cleanser
Bar of soap and moisturiser

[Chorus]
But it gets better
But it gets better
Ooh, oh-oh

[Verse 3]
Never wanted, never needed
You said, "Honey, how you feeling?"
Hotel pillow's worth a try
If you want me, swing on by
Swing on by, baby

[Verse 4]
Mini bar with many choices
Bedside table, distant voices, oh
[Chorus]
But it gets better
But it gets better
Ooh, oh-oh


[Bridge]
Does it get better?
Does it get better?
Does it get better?
Does it get better?


[Verse 5]
Never wanted, never needed
You said, "Honey, best be leaving"
If you want, I'll pack a bag
Foreign money in your hand
In your hand, baby

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
