You have incredible eyes 
And all the boys would go wild for you
But I was scared 
In case you made me do those dares 
Oh, would you 
Oh, would you believe me 
That I was your fool?

'Cause I've been lying awake at night 
Wondering where you are now 
And if that mettle turned out right 

"All my life 
All my life", she said
"It's not right
Nobody told me I could do something 
Nobody told me I could be something 
I have tried 
I have tried", she said 
"It's alright, but 
Nobody told me I could do something 
Nobody told me I could be something"

You wore indelible smiles 
You were divorced from inside, they said
But I was disturbed when I heard that it's not what you preferred 
It gets to the point they expect it
And who are you to disappoint them anyway?

Time will get you in the end 
Just when you shook off that regret 
Around the corner comes that memory, in a fur coat, to talk about it 

"All my life 
All my life", she said
"It's not right
Nobody told me I could do something 
Nobody told me I could be something 
I have tried 
I have tried", she said 
"It's alright, but 
Nobody told me I could do something 
Nobody told me I could be something"

Many words that have been spoken cut me out like paper dolls
Made me into something different
Something I could not dissolve
It's over
Over
Don't let their words control you

"All my life 
All my life", she said
"It's not right
Nobody told me I could do something 
Nobody told me I could be something 
I have tried 
I have tried", she said 
"It's alright, but 
Nobody told me I could do something 
Nobody told me I could be something"
