about

Good To Me: Track 5

lyrics

I had a way of getting good grades
Doing as little as I could do
When the homework was passed to the front of the room
I sat there and I played the fool

And I did my best
To lie through my teeth
I told her my dog ate it after it caught fire
Still she didn't believe

She said Late
You can do your best to plan for the worse
It's ok
Another story to tell, another lesson to learn

I gathered the nerve to ask for a date
From the prettiest girl in school
So when she said "yes" and the night arrived
I was feeling good and looking cool

I left on time
Showed up at the door
Boy my face turned red when that old man said
I should've turned 6 blocks before

I was late
You can do your best to plan for the worse
It's ok
Another story to tell, another lesson to learn

Well the love grew fast
And she took my name
And just like that
My whole life changed

When she sat me down
I knew right away
With that look in her eyes
And that smile on her face
I held her hand as she started to say

I'm late
And we did our best to plan for the birth
We're ok
Bedtime stories to tell, a lot of lessons to learn
