Something You Never Had Before Songtext
von Nancy LaMott

Natalya
I wondered what this room would be like
Pictured many a tryst here
Wondered what his girls would be like
And how many he′s kissed here
I don't care what all this is like
Little have I missed here

Oh, Anatole, listen to me, Anatole

You′ve had most everything
But I know I bring to you
Something you never had before
A kind of love that's deep
That will keep forever new
Something you never had before


You've had gay love before
Come-what-may love before
You′ve had dance-in-the-waltz love
And false love before
But now your life can start
For I bring a heart that′s true
Something you never had before

I know the art of keeping house
From the cellar to the dome
But will this art be art enough
To keep this particular man at home?

I know the art of cookery
He'll rave about my soufflé
But will this art be art enough
To keep him from drifting away?
And when we bid the world goodnight
And together we climb the stair
Oh, will I have the art enough
The art that is needed there?

I want to be wanted there
Something you never had before
A kind of love that′s deep
That will keep forever new
Something you never had before


You've had light love before
For-the-night love before
You′ve had carefree, hi-ho love
And no love before
But now your life can start
For I bring a heart that's true
Something you never had before
