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
