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

I will never let you go
