Flirted with You All My Life
Vic Chesnutt
I am a man, I am self aware
And everywhere I go
You're always right there with me
I flirted with you all my life
Even kissed you once or twice
And to this day I swear it was nice but clearly
I was not ready
When you touched a friend of mine
I thought I would lose my mind
But I found out with time that
Really, I was not ready
Oh death, oh death, oh death
Really, I'm not ready
Oh death you enter me
Death's unmade those dear to me
And tease me with your sweet relief
You're cruel and you are constant
When my mom was cancer sick
She fought, but then succumbed to it
But you made her beg for it
Lord Jesus, please I'm ready
Oh death, oh death, oh death
Really, I'm not ready
Oh death, oh death, oh death
Clearly, I'm not ready
