Cowboy Junkies - Flirted With You All My Life lyrics

rate me

I am a man

I am self-aware

And everywhere I go

You are always right there with me

I flirted with you all my life

Even kissed you once or twice

And to this day I swear it was nice

But clearly I was not ready.

When you touched a friend of mine

I thought I would lose my mind

And I found out with time

That really I was not ready, no, no

Oh death, oh death, oh death, really, I'm not ready

Oh death,

You me

Decimate those dear to me

Teased me with your sweet release

You are full and you are constant.

When my Mom she was cancer sick,

She fought but then succumbed to it

But you made her beg for it

Sweet Jesus, please I'm ready.

Oh death, oh death, oh death

Really, I'm not ready, no no no.

I'm not ready

I'm not ready

No, no

Oh death, oh death,

Really, I'm not ready.
