Never took a penny


Never took a penny
Never told a lie
You made me so unhappy
Now Im goin to make you cry

You hit me hard
Hard as hell
You may as well
Have left me as for dead

I helped you play the fish
I never steered you wrong
Whatever you might wish
You know its been my song

It took a long long time to become myself

With your american gift
Where there is money and skill
You gave another twist
To the proverbial screw

I should have looked deeper
Deeper still
Into your very soul

I gave you what was mine
Your wanting more belies
The fact that youve got dollar signs
In both your little eyes

I will cut out
The dead wood
The bad rot
Or find another love

Mercenary people
Messing with my heart
Nasty little devils
Always interfere with ours

I will survive
Despite you
I liked you
But now Im on my own

Im making merry music
I dont want to be sad
Ive had a lot of trouble
But Im not gonna stay mad

I will step out
All night
It feels right
To be on my own

All night
It feels right
To be on my own

I will step out
All night
It feels right
To be on my own

Im making merry music
I dont want to be sad
Ive had a lot of trouble
But Im not gonna stay mad

I will step out
All night
It feels right
To be on my own ...

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Tom Tom Club is an American musical duo formed in 1980 by Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz, bassist and drummer respectively for the Talking Heads. The project emerged as a parallel collaboration to the main group, exploring more electronic and dance-oriented sounds. Their self-titled debut album in 1981 was both a critical and commercial success, with tracks like "Wordy Rappinghood" becoming radio hits. Throughout the 1980s, Tom Tom Club continued to release successful albums, collaborating with artists such as David Byrne and Nile Rodgers. Their sound, characterized by funky rhythms, synthesizers, and ironic lyrics, has influenced genres such as new wave, electropop, and dance music. Among their most representative tracks are "Genius of Love", "Burning Down the House" (a cover of the Talking Heads), and "Don't Talk to Me About Love".
