I Can Only Be Good Songtext
I don't want to fall in love again
So don't tell me how your garden grows
Or what you do inside when winter snows
Or all the places you have lived before
Or all the places that you long to go
When your mind and body they get old
And your heart you find it getting cold
Will I run out of charming stories to be told
Wandering around in a dream with you
Making up lists of things to do
All in all those nights were sweet but few
Reality comes beaming through
It's easy to feel incomplete
With all this joy laying at my feet
In the king's clothes I am still dirty and I'm cheap
I don't want to fall in love
Don't tell me about your favourite films
Or the winter that you spent in Spain
I wouldn't let you put a record on
Don't tell me about your bad day
Don't tell me that your dad is cool
Never suggest that we just get away
I can only be good for a little while
I don't want to fall in love again
So don't tell me how your garden grows
Or what you do inside when winter snows
Or all the places you have lived before
Or all the places that you long to go
When your mind and body they get old
And your heart you find it getting cold
Will I run out of charming stories to be told
Wandering around in a dream with you
Making up lists of things to do
All in all those nights were sweet but few
Reality comes beaming through
It's easy to feel incomplete
With all this joy laying at my feet
In the king's clothes I am still dirty and I'm cheap
I don't want to fall in love
Don't tell me about your favourite films
Or the winter that you spent in Spain
I wouldn't let you put a record on
Don't tell me about your bad day
Don't tell me that your dad is cool
Never suggest that we just get away
I can only be good for a little while
