I Never Had A Chance

I Never Had A Chance
music & lyric by Irving Berlin

I guess there's nothing to do and nothing to say,
But simply go on my way and call it a day.
I guess I'm ready to go right back on the shelf,
Because at last I've learned where you're concerned,
I've just been fooling myself...

I never had a chance; I thought you cared for me
But now I see I never had a chance.
I never had a chance; though you never told me so,
Somehow I know I never had a chance.

I knew we'd have to part, for I could always reach your lips
But I could never reach your heart.
My dream about romance ended in a friendly chat,
But more than that, I never had a chance...
