One Of The Fortunate Few
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, for one thing, there was a whole lot of guys
That would have liked to have been in my shoes
But the upkeep on a woman like that
Will give an old poor old boy the blues
Still the pleasure was worth the pain
Of everything she put me through
And I consider myself one of the fortunate few
Yeah and another thing she wasn't just good looking
Her imagination just wouldn't quit
She'd make you do things you never thought about
And things you wouldn't want to admit
There must be somebody else out there
That feels about her like I do
And I consider myself one of the fortunate few
It felt so good to hurt so bad
The best and the worst that I ever had
I know I bit off a little more than I could chew
Still I consider myself one of the fortunate few
Well, the last thing I'm gonna tell you
Is some things are better left unsaid
A gentleman don't do talkin' about
What happens in a woman's bed
That's all I've got to say
I'll leave the rest up to you
But I consider myself one of the fortunate few
Yeah, I consider myself one of the fortunate few
