You said that you loved me
But you never even knew my name
You played the part so well
But, mama, you were playin' in vain
For me it's not easy
To tell you that you were wrong
But I've done all I can
So I'm sayin' so long
I never knew you
No, I never knew you at all
I never knew you
No, I never knew you at all
You told everyone you knew
That you and I were best of friends
But, mama, I got news for you
There is where your story ends
You're talking fast and loud
But I can't hear a thing you say
Too late now for acting proud
It's time to go our separate ways
I never knew you
No, I never knew you at all
I never knew you
No, I never knew you at all
La-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
For me it's not easy
To tell you that you were wrong
But I've done all I can
So I'm sayin' so long
I never knew you
No, I never knew you at all
I never knew you
No, I never knew you at all
I never knew you
I never knew you at all
I never knew you
No, I never knew you at all
(No, I never knew you)
I never knew you
I never knew you at all
(No, no)
I never knew you
No, I never knew you at all
(Oh, yeah)
