Lyrics
Another Thing I'm Never Gonna Do
Larry Carr / Randy Losoya (c) 2005
Sung by Michelle Shannon
Today I ripped a page out of the scrapbook that I made
When we were young with nothing to our names
I'd fill it with the scenes from all those travel magazines
And tell you we were going to see the world someday
You would only laugh and say "the money that we have"
Barely covers what it takes to get us through
And all that cuttin? and a-pastin? is just good time a-wastin?
"On another thing you?re never gonna do"
(Build)
But I've saved my dimes and nickels
From the tips that I?ve been making
And I can't believe I'm seeing
Paris in the spring
(Chorus)
And I've been here about an hour.
At the top of the Eiffel tower
And I've seen the Mona Lisa at the Louvre
And I just launched a paper airplane,
Made from page seventeen
Of "Another thing I'm Never Gonna Do"
(Verse 2)
Your idea of livin? was huntin? and a-fishin?
So I?d tag along to spend some time with you
Now I write this goodbye letter on the back of page eleven
Of "Another thing I'm Never Gonna Do"
(Build)
I had coffee and croissants
At a little French cafe'
And I plan on spending Monday
Along the Champs d'Elisse
(Chorus)
Well I've been here about an hour.
At the top of the Eiffel tower
And I've seen the Mona Lisa at the Lourve
And I just launched a paper airplane,
Made from page seventeen
Of "Another thing I'm Never Gonna Do"
(Instrumental break)
(Refrain ? Slower tempo)
Here?s some shots of me
I made a new scrap book for you
You can take it and tell yourself
?There?s another thing I?m never gonna do?
(Repeat Chorus)
