Story Behind the Song
Written in first person, but not about me, Never Gonna Be the One is the idea of a woman who is having an affair with a married man and the downward spiral that occurs in her psyche.
Lyrics
You got me hoping the telephone will ring.
You got me coping with the shadows of my desires.
You got me hating myself for what I can't be
and everything I am, everything I am.
You got me wishing your wife will find out.
You got me thinking, thinking about leaving town.
Why did I have to fall for someone who's not around,
even when he's here? Even when he's here?
When I'm the other woman, I always feel wanted.
Buy a new lipstick and think about you all day.
When I'm the other woman, I'm always ever conscious,
That nothing is forever anyway.
I'm never gonna be the one, never gonna be, never gonna be the one.
You got me wanting to stop the hands of time.
I'm just saying you could stay for a little while.
why is life unfair? Don't I deserve to love whomever I want?
Whomever I want???
I feel like sinking your happy family.
I feel like drinking a little too heavily.
Where has my pride gone? I used to think I was strong. I was strong.
When I'm the other woman, I always get a little lonely, but pour me a scotch dear,
I think about you all day.
When I'm the other woman I'm always ever conscious that nothing is forever anyway.
Never gonna be the one, I'm never gonna be, never gonna be the one...
Alone is the price I pay for freedom and control. No one can tell me what to do. I live day by day by the laws of my body, not my soul. Not my soul.
I'm never gonna be the one. Never gonna be, never gonna be the one.....
