Vic Chesnutt - Flirted With You All My Life lyrics

rate me

I am a man, I am self aware

And everywhere I go

You're 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

But I found out with time that

Really, I was not ready

Oh death, oh death, oh death

Really, I'm not ready

Oh death you enter me

Decimate those dear to me

And tease me with your sweet relief

You're cruel and you are constant

When my mom was cancer sick

She fought, but then succumbed to it

But you made her beg for it

Lord Jesus, please I'm ready

Oh death, oh death, oh death

Really, I'm not ready

Oh death, oh death, oh death

Clearly, I'm not ready
