Didn’t You Ever Love Somebody Melanie

I fell in love with a man who was twice my age and half my size
He had wisdom lines down through his cheeks and wrinkles around his eyes
I told him I would love him with abandon and I promised him love for life
But when he said that I'd better grow up before my promises became a lie

And I said

Didn't you ever love somebody
Didn't you ever love
Oh didn't you ever love somebody
Didn't you ever love

Well in some ways that man was right but in others he was wrong
I've had many friends and lovers but nothing quite as strong
And the years are always teaching me that obsession never lasts
But I ask too many questions for woman with a past

And I say

Didn't you ever love somebody
Didn't you ever love
Oh didn't you ever love somebody
Didn't you ever love
Didn't you ever, didn't you ever
Didn't you ever love somebody
Didn't you ever love somebody
Didn't you ever love somebody
Didn't you ever love
