Lyrics for As Cool As I Am by Dar Williams:
| | | Artist: | Dar Williams |
| | Album: | Mortal City | | Track: | As Cool As I Am | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 102 | | | | Lyrics: | Yeah, 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 watch the way you take your fear and horde the horizon
You point, you
have a word for every woman you can lay your eyes on
Like you own them just because you bought
the time
And you turn to me, you say you hope I'm not threatened
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 a slow descending funk
And the
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 lonlieness suspended to our own like grappling
hooks
And as long as she's got noise she's fine
But I could teach her how I learned to
dance when the music's ended
Oh and 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
You tried to make me doubt, to make me guess
Tried to make me feel like a
little less
Oh 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
And so I'm leaving, you can 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 of the
kitchen window and you shake your head and say low
If I could believe that stuff I'd say that
woman has a halo
And I look out and say yeah she's really blond
And then I go outside to
join the others, I am the others
Oh and 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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
