Lyrics

Much Too Good For Much Too Long


Intro:

Stepped back to take a look at me today.
Know I haven?t done that for a long, long time.
Seems I dug myself a rut,
And jumped right in with both eyes shut.

Now it?s getting too deep
I?ve got to escape,
It?s time to start the climb.

Chorus:

I?m sleeping late today
I don?t think I?ll get up ?til noon.
I think I?ve earned the stay,
I know exactly what I?m doin?.

Now how can something that feels so good be wrong.
I?ve been much too good for much too long.

I might spend time outside,
Lay back and get myself some sun.
And not move ?til I?m fried,
And then I?ll find some other fun.

Yes even getting that sunburn won?t seem wrong.
Cause I?ve been much too good for much too long.

Verse:

I?m taking an ocean cruise to who knows where,
Just doing those sinful things that one does while at sea.
Or maybe a wild exotic love affair,
Might give me just exactly the thrill that I need.

Chorus:

It?s time I changed my ways ?cause I?ve been going nowhere fast.
I just can?t go through life and be forgotten when I?ve passed.
Oh I intend to be talked about when I ?m gone.
Yes I?ve been much too good for much too long.

Verse 2:

Yes maybe a tennis bum is what I?ll be,
Just traveling from court to court
To play with who knows who.
And all of the time between I?ll wait and see,
If maybe that love affair I mentioned might come true.

Chorus:

I think I?ve talked enough I?ve got to start the things I?ve said.
I just can?t go through life and be forgotten when I?m dead.
Oh, I feel sorry for those who think I?m wrong.
Yes I?ve been much too good for much to long.
