Lyrics

It was too good, way too good, too good to be true,
Born under a good sign, gave you chills just to be you,
Ya been around a long time, the wrong time,
Not to sing a strong time tune, like-a,
"Hey darlin' didn't we meet somewhere before,
could it have bee the south of France?
How could I not remember you, this is fate and it's your chance,
to take a ride in my big black car, the sure way to adance."
Now she won't even look at you, can't afford to see her dance.

High and mighty, how hard you fall,
Now you got nothing, one time you had it all,
Gave it up for a good time, how much do you recall,
Yo, high and mighty, sweet to see you fall.

She's a pearl, she's a real-time girl,
Took ya for a ride, a monumental slide,
Down, down, 'til ya hit the ground,
So hard your head was spinning, she's nowhere to be found,
Coulda told ya, she really bought and sold ya,
Won't see her no more, who's a pimp and who's a whore,
You're the icing on her cake,
Your least favorite mistake,
Was it a chance you had to take,
Who'd a thought it would be you who couldn't catch a break.

High and mighty, how hard you fall,
Now you got nothing, one time you had it all,
gave it up for a good time, how much do you recall,
Yo, high and mighty, sweet to see you fall.
