I Never Had It So Good (Singer: Dobie Gray)
I never had much money
I never won a race
My jokes don't end up funny
I've had doors slammed in my face
But I think you've charmed me
I always hoped that someone would
I never had a love like this before
I never had it so good
I'm not the kind that's trusted
Always trippin' over logs
So often I've been busted
Chased by friendly dogs
But I think you've charmed me
Always hoped that someone would
I never had a love like this before
I never had it so good
I think you've charmed me
I always hoped that someone would
I never had a love like this before
I never had it so good
I never had a love like this before
I never had it so good
I never had a love like this before
I never had it so good
Songwriters: Paul Williams, Roger Nichols

@@GaryLarsonRoots hey Gary, I’ll bet today coming up as a young man with the right help. He could’ve went a lot farther because his voice had a good tone to it that little rasp.
