Did YOu Really Think (Have it all)
MOTHER
[4 BARS INTRO] [First note D]
V1 Did you really think
they would ever let you have it all?
You’re not thinking straight if
You want to get back to how it all was before
Do just what you like I tell you very clear
I told you so
Thought you understood
That selling out your soul would work that way
BR 1 I think it’s clear that you are finished now
Reputation on the floor
No-one wants
No-one cares
Don’t want to hear you any more
V2 Heading for a fall
You were always tripping headlong down
One thing you should know
I was always watching how you got along
I know it seemed all wrong
But what I tried to do was right for you
The answer was right there
If we had the time to work it out
BR2 Weeks months and years when we were out of touch
That time we can’t get back
Stress and pain
Nothing gained
When we could really have had it all
V3 [ALTERNATIVE MELODY]
I look at you and I see myself
All aflame with youth and hoping for everything to come easily
I thought I could give you what I never had but
We just make the same mistakes all over again
OTHER BRIDGE
You need to know now
That whatever you do
God loves you / anyway
And so do I / Without strings [overlap with first line of next verse]
FINAL VERSE [in new key]
Good or bad or rich or poor
I would have loved you anyway
You don’t have to prove yourself to me
Nothing left to prove
Coz I always loved you anyway
Nothing left to prove
Coz I always loved you anyway
