Lyrics of You've Got Everything Now by The Smiths
verse
As merry as the days were long
I was right and you were wrong
verse
Back at the old grey school
I would win and you would lose
pre-chorus
But you've got everything now
You've got everything now
And what a terrible mess I've made of my life
Oh, what a mess I've made of my life
pre-chorus
No, I've never had a job
Because I've never wanted one
I've seen you smile
But I've never really heard you laugh
chorus
So who is rich and who is poor?
I cannot say, oh
chorus
You are your mother's only son
And you're a desperate one, oh
verse
But I don't want a lover
I just want to be seen, oh
verse
In the back of your car
verse
A friendship sadly lost?
Well this is true and yet, it's false, oh
verse
But did I ever tell you, by the way?
I never did like your face, oh
pre-chorus
But you've got everything now
You've got everything now
And what a terrible mess I've made of my life
Oh, what a mess I've made of my life
pre-chorus
No, I've never had a job
Because I'm too shy
I've seen you smile
But I've never really heard you laugh
chorus
So who is rich and who is poor
I cannot say, oh, oh
chorus
You are your mother's only son
And you're a desperate one
verse
But I don't want a lover
I just want to be tied, oh
To the back of your car
outro
To the back of your car
To the back of your car
To the back of your car
The back of your car
To the back of your car, oh
Writer(s): Steven Patrick Morrissey, Johnny Marr
