The gates are chained
And the tanks are drained
And there is no cause to linger
There's a long black car
With the door ajar
There's a diamond on her finger
I never loved you anyhow
I never loved you anyhow
The crew all smiled
'Cause I'm going wild
As fast as I am able
But they can't talk to me
About philosophy
When I'm dancing on the table
I never loved you anyhow
I never loved you anyhow
The crew all say
That since I've been away
Only my eyes look older
I don't take no lip
I run a real tight ship
Got a parrot on my shoulder
I never loved you anyhow
I never loved you anyhow
I don't care, I really don't care
I'm doing so much better without you
I know it's not what I said at the time
I never give you a second thought
I never loved you anyhow
I never loved you anyhow
I never loved you anyhow
