歌曲名 As Cool As I Am 歌手名 Dar Williams

Yeah there was a time I didn't like the love

I liked the climbers

I was no sister then

I was running out of time and one liners

And I was afraid like you are

When you're too young to know the time

And so I watch the way

You take your fear and horde the horizon

You point you have a word for every woman

You can lay your eyes on

Like you own them

Just because you bought the time

And you turn to me

You say you hope I'm not threatened

Oh I'm not that petty

As cool as I am

I thought you'd know this already

I will not be afraid of women

I will not be afraid of women

So now we're at a club

You watch the woman dancing she is drunk

She is smiling

And she's falling in a slow descending funk

And the whole bar is loud

And proud and everybody's trying yeah

You play the artist saying

Is it how she moves or how she looks

I say it's loneliness

Suspended to our own like grappling hooks

And as long as she's got noise she's fine

But I could teach her

How I learned to dance when the music's ended

Oh and that's not petty

As cool as I am

I thought you'd know this already

I will not be afraid of women

I will not be afraid of women

You tried to make me doubt

To make me guess

Tried to make me feel like a little less

Oh I liked you when your soul was bared

I thought you knew how to be scared

And now it's amazing

What you did to make me stay

But truth is just like time

It catches up and it just keeps going

And so I'm leaving you can find out

How much better things can get

And if it helps

I'd say I feel a little worse than I did when we met

So when you find someone else

You can try again it might work next time

You look out of the kitchen window

And you shake your head and say low

If I could believe that stuff

I'd say that woman has a halo

And I look out and say

Yeah she's really blonde

And then I go outside to join the others

I am the others

Oh and that's not easy

I don't know what you saw

I want somebody who sees me

I will not be afraid of women

I will not be afraid of women
