Frank, Jackson C. - You Never Wanted Me Lyrics
Wondering and waiting
My back against the wall
Not a word that passed between us
Comes to call
Just your shadow on the window
You never wanted me, babe
You never knew me at all
I haven't any picture
To set before my eyes
Nothing to blame
When the blues start to rise
Just the memory of laughter
And the living out of lies
And if I could change my ways, babe
If you ever get the time, baby
Please think on me
It's a lock that can't be broken
And there isn't any key
And I'm only in your mind
Only you can set me free
You can't hurt me anymore, babe
And that isn't hard to see
Someday, someone will leave you
And I know you'll feel the same
You'll mark it down to memory
And the dream that never came
Well there are no answers given
When love is just a game
You never wanted me, babe
And now I feel the same

Frank, Jackson C. You Never Wanted Me Comments
The song that saved me from my fixed idea.
Music to cry to, but still with unmistakable beauty to it.
posted to FB.....hoping People get it and want more....
You could easily cry the lyrics of this song.
No, no one wanted him but we can only apologize for the prior generation and enjoy true greatness when we hear it now
Folk should stay melancholic & sincere. JCF & Nick Drake are folk deities.
A true haunted artist

This song is getting me through a rough break up.... I couldn't change my ways
Did you really think that he ever fucking cared!??? 😭😰😰😰😰😰😰
Had a special friendship with a remarkable lady for over a year, never daring to make a move for fear of ruining what we had. Was about to ask her out when she abruptly moved back home, a thousand miles away. I recently visited her and realized it was all in my head--she never wanted me.
Things are ruined now and she barely speaks to me. A year or more of memories, poisoned. Needless to say, I've been relying on this album a lot lately.
How old r u how tall r u what do u weigh what can u bench?
@Jet Jaguar MF GRiMM! Wot
You are what Clint Eastwood would call a pussy. Repost when you can bench plates.
Ya.poisened memories? Wow.. U selfish. She is still the same Remarkable Lady.
Feel blessed to experience
He deserved more recognition. A truly Brilliant & talented man.
2018 and just turned 25
Listening this for the 1st time.
Roy Batty N6MAA10816 me too <3 :(
I love JCF. A real artist. Gives me goosebumps everytime..
such a great voice. so gifted. so pity his life was so tragic
This album makes my top 3 - and that's no easy feat. It is pure brilliance
its one of those albums where every song is killer/masterpiece.
If you dont know him yet i recommend you Nick Drake.
Thumbs up if you think "And now I feel the same" means Frank doesn't want babe anymore. Thumbs down if you think it means he doesn't want himself.
Option number one was pretty obvious to me, until you phrased the second one. Still, I think it's not a suicidal song.
pyrodemon808 I think the line "you can't hurt me anymore" refutes the idea that he wants to kill himself over the break up.
Or he simply doesn't care. Quoting the classic: "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn".
cool spot
Option two robs the lyric of its poetry.
Whatever you guys say. I was going to end my life tonight. thanks for this! truly
Hoping you are ok.
Rest easy Amanda, the sun still rises to the east and sets to the west
Sandy Denny sang this song too.
Glad to hear you changed your mind!!!🥰
Life
Precious Life
Precious Above All Things..
Precious Beyond Words
At Last I Understand
From The Bottom Of My Heart..
And I hope so did you!
Such a prolific songwriter and song full of sadness and heartbreak. Lost love gone forever......never to be again for you and me.
beautiful
He didn't die young or "too soon". He had a long painful and tragic life.
+Jeremy Day He did indeed, may his soul rest easy.
I dont know, he was only 56 though in Jackson C Frank years that was probably about 200.
shut up joe
Who said he died young? Idiots die young.
Another great artist who couldn't overcome his demons and died too young.
His voice is the best i ever heard. So good.
Sadly, over the years, with more tragedies / miseries that occurred along the way, his voice had changed, becoming a lot deeper and gruff.
Some lyrics in this are soo remarkably connected to emotions of memories I have ..wow ..r.I.p. regardless
Proof that in fact, a white man can have the blues.
I wish I could listen to more of this man's songs.
I REALLY wish he did not leave us so soon.
Jim McCann's version is good aswell
Another melancholic guitar picker out of time and now gone :-( beautiful music
Just found this. Makes me feel there is still so much great great 60s music still to discover.
wow - he's amazing!
I can't believe that I'm hearing this artist for the first time today! Otherwise, I'm speechless! ...... With my mouth dropped open! ...... ;>D
Likewise, 10/15/16
Thanks for the nice comment Clarkewi - but the credit properly belongs to a) Jackson, & b) NosferatuGuy - for bringing this great & underrated talent to a bigger audience.
Cheers,
Steve
@stevep0508 Major discovery here. Unbelievable lyrics. Thanks!
you never wanted me baby
I am just discovering this guy. I came from listening to Bonnie Dobson. I like her version, but I am glad I also found this version. This guy is great!
Just discovered JCF...amazing...beautiful. I heard Sandy Denny's version first. I love them both. I think they're almost different songs sung by her and by JCF so there's no competition for me. They're beautiful.
@NosferatuGuy Yea what the hell, JCF's version wins by far
Another entry in the list of overlooked talent.
Very sad.
Another entry in the list of 'Gone too soon'.
Even sadder.
RIP Jackson.
Thank You.
Truely underrated album.
so good, the tragedy of JCF is that he didnt die young, just forgotten
What a talented songwriter.
This is Great!!!!
Franks is best
