Never had the good things only money can buy. I drive my car but I haven't got a car to drive. Never had a holiday in the tropical sun, good times look like they're never gonna come. Oh, I know these times are bad and it makes you want to cry, Don't be sad, we'll get by. Baby, baby don't look back, it won't do no good. Baby, baby don't look back, I'm gonna leave and I think that you should. I've spent my life In a place like this. On the first but out I'm gonna get myself a lift. If you wanna stay well that's alright, if you wanna go it's got to be tonight. Oh, I know these times are bad and it makes you want to cry, Don't be sad, we'll get by. Baby, baby don't look back, it won't do no good. Baby, baby don't look back, I'm gonna leave and I think that you should. Never had the good things only money can buy. I drive my car but I haven't got a car to drive. Oh, I know these times are bad and it makes you want to cry, Don't be sad, we'll get by. Baby, baby don't look back, it won't do no good. Baby, baby don't look back, I'm gonna leave and I think that you should.
