The nicest man I ever met
Was more malicious than malcontent
Yeah, he taught me how to hold my tongue
And wait to strike till their backs were turnedAnd you slither away like the snake that you are
Yeah, you slither away like the snake that you areAnd all I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me nowThe vanities fell correctly beneath
The receding part of his twenties was capital M E
(I couldn't subscribe)
Was capital M E
(But you can't say I didn't try)You say what you want
(Maybe I didn't get my way)
You say what you want
(Maybe I didn't get my way)
But I got, I got awayAll I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me nowWas it everything you hoped for?
Was it all of that and more?
Too much too soon or too good to be true
Was it everything you hoped for?
Was it all of that and more?All I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me nowBut all I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me now
