now the first day that I met ya
i was looking in the sky
when the sun turned all a blur
and the thunderclouds rolled by
the sea began to shiver
and the wind began to moan
it must've been a sign for me
to leave you well alone
i was born without you, baby
but my feelings were a little bit too strong

you never said you love me
and I don't believe you can
'cause I saw you in a dream
and you were with another man
you looked so cool and casual
and I tried to look the same
but now I've got to know ya
tell me who am I to blame?
i was born without you, baby
but my feelings were a little bit too strong

now the whole wide world is movin'
'cause there's iron in my heart
i just can't keep from cryin'
'cause you say we've got to part
sorrow grips my voice as I stand here all alone
and watch you slowly take away
a love I've never known
i was born without you, baby
but my feelings were a little bit too strong
