I done stood out on the block 12 O'clock still phishing I done broke up bricks with baking soda in the kitchen I done lost my religion Done spent my tuition I couldn't fill up the hole in my soul, There's something missing I done sat back and laughed and Let the beats unfold Done scores of triggers Robbed niggers and stores Five years parole Kid I've been locked up I done lost so much my heart is boxed up
[Chorus:] I thought I'd never see the blue sky Never see the birds fly Until I met you sunshine I never knew the other side Never knew what love was like I thought I'd never see a pot of gold But baby you're the rainbow Take me where I never been I thought the pain would never end But now, now that I've found my girl I ain't never, ever, ever gonna let her go, no And now, now she's inside of my world I ain't never, ever, ever gonna let her go, no
I done drowned my sorrows in a bottle of gin I done poured out liquor for my very best friend I been rich, fell off and got dough again Been left out in the cold, told I could never win I done promised to my lady I would try to change Met a chick went back in to the same damn thing I done took the blame and blamed people for things Snatching change on the train, I've done some things
[Chorus:] I thought I'd never see the blue sky Never see the birds fly Until I met you sunshine Never knew the other side I never knew what love was like I thought I'd never see a pot of gold But baby you're the rainbow Take me where I never been I thought the pain would never end But now, now that I've found my girl I ain't never, ever, ever gonna let her go, no And now, now she's inside of my world I ain't never, ever, ever gonna let her go, no
Every day seemed gray Until you came and you brought the sun my way Til Heaven or earth sent her my way I longed for the day Somebody would say, “I love you baby” and If it weren't for you there ain't no person I'd be trusting In the sound of my voice Oh for better or worse, richer or poor I've been through so much Til you'll be my girl forever, now
[Chorus:] Now, now that I've found my girl I ain't never, ever, ever gonna let her go, no And now, now she's inside of my world I ain't never, ever, ever gonna let her go, no
