• As Cool As I Am

You know 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 watched the way you'd take your fear
And hoard the horizon.
You'd point and have a word
For every woman you could lay your eyes on,
Like you owned them just because you bought the time.
And you turn to me, you say you hope I'm not threatened...

And 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 that slow descending funk.
And 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 by grappling hooks'
And as long as she's got noise she is fine,
But I could teach her how I learned to dance
When the music's ended...

And oh, 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.

Tried to make me doubt, to make me guess,
Tried to make me feel like a little less, and
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.

So I'm leaving, gonna 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 the kitchen window,
And you shake your head and say 'Lo!
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.

And oh, 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.
