Herbie Hancock
Childhood Drama (Remix)
[Intro]
I never wanted to be
Like every other child abandoned in childhood drama
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
I never wanted to be
Like every other child abandoned in childhood drama (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I always felt that I was the exception to the rule
But now who's the fool
You won't give me your love
So when you left me I filled up that empty place
And never told it's still hollow (It's still hollow, it's still hollow)
Can't you see potential you have
And what you dreamed if it's not based in reality
Your denial is a tragedy (A tragedy)
Your excuses backed up by love
Can hinder more than a brave risk you take
Even if it cracks on this floor
[Refrain]
You weren't living your love
You won't give me your love
You weren't living your love, living your love
[Verse 2]
So when you left me I filled up that empty place
And never told it's still hollow (It's still hollow, still hollow)
Why is it you believe that to quit is better
Than really trying to succeed
I wish you'd stayed to guide me (You'd stayed to guide me)
It seems that I, I don't fit in anywhere that I can see
I don't follow your lead, oh
[Refrain]
You weren't living your love
(You weren't living your love)
You won't give me your love
(You won't give me your love)
You weren't living your love
(You weren't living your love)
Living your love
[Verse 3]
So when you left me I filled up that empty place
And never told it's still hollow
(Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh-oh, oh-oh)
And I walk to the shores and cry my tears in the ocean
I can see that looking in my eyes
Ain't enough to bring you back no more (You just up and left)
[Refrain]
You weren't living your love
You won't give me your love
You weren't living your love
You won't give me your love
You weren't living your love
You won't give me your love
You weren't living your love
Living your love
[Outro]
Bring you back no more (Oh, oh)
You won't give me your love (Oh, oh)
Bring you back no more (Oh, oh)
You won't live your love
Bring you back no more (Oh, oh)
You won't give me your love (Oh, oh)
Bring you back no more (Oh, oh)
Back no more
