One good kiss deserves another   fix my hair and wash my hands   vanity meets common sense   never got to know your mother   I suppose that had I tried   I’d be pleasantly surprised   and I would be a better man   nothing great but everything I am      flying fists just call for cover   don’t let your pretty face take the heat   it’s best avoided on your feet   why try keeping up with the Joneses?   they make more money than you can   and having things won’t buy you friends   and I could be a better man   nothing great but everything I am      [chorus:]   I’m a grown man   and I’m to blame   I pull my head up from the sand   and the world takes aim   but hey, at least I tasted love   if even only once   at least I tasted love      business people bearing flowers   suck you dry and leave you dead   now paranoid with fucked up heads   won’t be a corporate sucker   I wear my heart on my sleeve   you can stay or you can leave   cuz I’ve become a better man   nothing great but everything I am      [chorus]      at least I tasted love      a casualty of a useless war   in a back no-name   a fool with a lousy poker face   just lost the game
