the nicest man i ever met   was more malicious than malcontent   yeah, he taught me how to hold my tongue   and wait to strike 'til their backs were turned      and you slither away like the snake that you are.   and you slither away like the snake that you are.      all i ever did was look up to you   and if all i ever did was let, let you down   ain't nothing stopping me now.      divinity spelt correctly beneath   the receding pride of his twenties   was capital m-e (i couldn't subscribe)   was capital m-e (but you can't say i didn't try)   you say what you want (maybe i didn't get my way)   so you say what you want (maybe i didn't get my way)   but i got, i got away.      all i ever did was look up to you   and if all i ever did was let, let you down   ain't nothing stopping me now.      was it everything you hoped for?   was it all of that and more?   too much too soon?   or too good to be true?   was it everything you hoped for?   was it all of that and more?      all i ever did was look up to you   and if all i ever did was let, let you down   ain't nothing stopping me now.   all i ever did was look up to you   and if all i ever did was let, let you down   ain't nothing stopping me now.
