Lyrics
It wasn't like
strawberries and chocolate
It wasn't like
crackers and pate
It wasn't like
cheese paired with wine
you were never mine
It wasn't like
cinnamon and nutmeg
It wasn't like
flowers and bees
It wasn't like
church bells and chime
you were never mine
You can't make spring
dance with the fall
you can't make the moon
dance with the sun
even if you tried with
all of your money
north and south
won't dance together honey
It wasn't like
vodka and tonic
It wasn't like
cider and spice
It wasn't like
tequila and lime
you were never mine
It wasn't like
babies breath and roses
It wasn't like
coffee and cream
It wasn't like
a waltz in three quarters time
You can't make spring
dance with the fall
you can't make the moon
dance with the sun
even if you tried with
all of your money
north and south
won't dance together honey
It wasn't like
thunder and lightning
It wasn't like
Bogart and Bacall
It wasn't like
we were partners in crime
you were never mine
It wasn't like
we were partners in crime
you were never mine
you were never mine...
