That coat that I gave you All shiny and black Well I'm sorry, my darling But I'm taking it back I don't want to spoil the party But I've got to go home You can stay if you want to If you want to sleep alone Some are born to greatness Some are born to die Never knowing the difference Never knowing why Some are born to change the world Some never even try But darling, you and I We were born to cry Black has become your favourite colour For all the things it can conceal And as we lie here together I know exactly how you feel It's time for me to leave this party But I've just got to ask you first: If you're only trying to make things better How come they always turn out worse? Mm, some are born to greatness Some are born to die Never knowing the difference Never knowing why Some are born to change the world Some never even try But darling, you and I We were born to cry Oh, some are born to greatness And some are born to die Never knowing the difference And never knowing why Some are born to change the world Some never even try But darling, you and I We were born to cry Yes, darling, you and I We were born to cry. Born to cry
Beautiful, soothing collaboration between two great men in pop. Love the relaxed and down-to-earth style of this version. Also, that little shakiness in Jarvis's voice makes it a pure class.
