Silly Me, Clever You

More about Silly Me, Clever You

On my own
How could I have known?
Imagine my surprise
Just a fool
From a tree full of fools
Who can't believe his eyes
Imagine my surprise

I was a mean old man
I was an ornery cuss
I was a dismal Dan
I made an awful fuss
Ever since my life began
Man, it was ever thus
I was a nasty tyke who was hard to like

I had to misbehave
I did things in reverse
Refused to wash or shave
I was horrid to my nurse
I got back what I gave
Which only made me worse
I had to have my way
Which was bleak and gray, oh dear

Living in here
One hundred years of rain
Such a drag
This riches to rags
With just myself to blame
A dirty low-down shame

Silly me
Silly old me
Somewhere outside my mind
Clever you
Walking me through
Willing to lead the blind
Just in the nick of time

Who gets a second chance?
Who gets to have some fun?
Who gets to learn to dance
Before his race is run?
Who gets to shed his skin?
Who comes up born again?
Who was a mean old man
'Til you turned him into a golden retriever
Puppy dog
Who's a good boy?

PS. I feel shameful for visiting my old watering hole of self doubt, and phycological self destruction. You deserve much better I can only say I feel shame for slipping back into my old pattern. You have given me my only real shot in a very long time. I am going to focus on releasing all doubt, I must, I will turn to my inner puppy dog. My childishness is embarrassing and I cannot accept poor decisions. Those decisions will reflect poorly on to those I care for most. 1 Dedicated 4 Taylor Swift Love Aaron Baker.
