Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Oh) Never (hey)
Never (Oh)
Never (Hey)
Never (Oh)
Never (Hey)
Never (Oh)
Never (Hey)
Never
[Verse 2]
Out of an unknown place
Kinda like left field
You came in my life and helped me heal
Just in the nick of time
When I lacked the will to keep on movin' on
You've been in my dreams
Before now I couldn't figure out the reasons
I kept askin' God why
And now I'm receivin' abundance of love
And I get it
But never could imagine it
[Verse 3]
Never in my wildest dreams (No, no, no, no)
Did I think someone could care about me (No)
Not just the way you love me (Love me)
You know I'm emotional (Sometimes)
Not in (Not in) not in (not in) my wildest dreams
Never in my wildest dreams (Never in my life)
Did I think someone could care about me (It's so beautiful)
Not just the way you love me (Uh-uh)
You know I'm emotional (Sometimes)
Not in (Not in) not in (not in) my wildest dreams
[Verse 4]
(Oh) Never (hey)
Never (Oh)
Never (Hey)
Never, never
[Verse 5]
It's hard to hold back tears
Whenever you hold me close
I think about the years
I spent sayin' this is all I want
Just wanted someone real to love me for me, me
Just Brandy
It seemed I had it all
That's what they thought
But I was peelin' like paint on the wall
I had to cover up the hurt (Hurt, hurt)
Ooh, I was told by many that they loved me
But it wasn't love like this
[Verse 6]
Never in my wildest dreams (Never in my wildest dreams)
Did I think someone could care about me (No, so beautiful)
Not just the way you love me (The way you love me)
You know I'm emotional (So emotional)
Not in (Not in) not in (not in) my wildest dreams
Never in my wildest dreams (From the pain and the bitter time)
Did I think someone could care about me (Not the way that you do)
Not just the way you love me (You love me)
You know I'm emotional (Oh)
Not in (Not in) not in (not in) my wildest dreams
[Verse 7]
I'll give all I have
Ooh, for exchange
To have someone who'll love me for me
(Anything can be replaced, oh)
(Not love)
There ain't no replacement
(It either is or it ain't)
[Verse 8]
Never in my wildest dreams (Never, never in my life, no)
Did I think someone could care about me (So ba-ba-beautiful)
Not just the way you love me (Not just the way)
You know I'm emotional (You know how I get)
Not in (Not in) not in (not in) my wildest dreams
Never in my wildest dreams (Never in my life, oh)
Did I think someone could care about me
(Think someone could take care of me)
Not just the way you love me (It's not just the way you love me)
You know I'm emotional (Emotional)
Not in (Not in) not in my wildest dreams
