The Best Love I Never Had Lyrics

I say a prayer for those who
Unlike me
Suffer some form of brutality
I get no kicks from mugging pensioners
I don't believe that that's all their good for
You know I love you
And I always will
I keep a picture of you on me still
It's so sad
You were the best love I never had
I see you've brought your children
Along too
The little one
She looks a lot like you
I'm sure you must be very proud of them
I'd love to have a child myself
But then
On second thoughts I'd better leave
This talk of children is upsetting me
It's so sad
You were the best love I never had
And I can't for the life of me fathom
Out why Eve when she met up with Adam
Didn't know they would put at risk

Every man, woman, child
For the b*** of an apple
Remember days of wine and daffodils
A hand upon your breast
Oh what a thrill
It's so sad
You were the best love I never had

You make your bed
And then you lie in it
Wouldn't the truth be more appropriate
It's so sad
You were the best love I never had
