As Good As You (James Barbour) - Don Richard James Barbour Orchestra Steven Tyler

Love

Love is like a virus

We're infected with

You're so naive

Wouldn't it be wonderful

If life was just as you perceive

Women are inhuman worthless

Hard and savage

On the average

Never to be trusted

Completely maladjusted

It's true

But if I'd not loved a few

I might have been as good as you

She was my flame my gallic sylph

I was her fool's delight

She put me in her spell

And turned my

Rage to trust in just one night

With appetites for pleasure

We would search for buried treasure

In the excess of temptation

I thought it my salvation

It's true

But if I had thought things through

I might have been as good as you

She found me handsome

My opera dancer

And like a fool

I believed it was true

I held the world inside my hands

A man

Full in his prime

When she left me for another

Pierced my heart a second time

Nothing lasts forever

She said

Find the door yourself

Dear won't you

Think me still your flower

I've treasured every hour it's true

But if I had loved you too

I might have been as good as you

I came upon her some time later

The years had not been very kind

She has this child adele

Said she was mine as well

Nothing lasts forever edward

Take good care and oh yes

Won't you take our lovely daughter

For you see dear I don't want her

But I'm still your flower

I'll just bloom elsewhere

Tell her my soul is in heaven

With god

Miss eyre I tell you this

Because I want you to know

That I with some luck

Without shame without blame

Or the curse of my name

Might have been as good as you
