Big Fish

I've not always had good intentions, the moral high ground is seldom mine And this is by no means meant to be an intervention I've just been around enough to recognize Now I believe that we are all created equal I'm not saying that the fault lies in design And I know that bad things often happen to good people In fact I see them happen all the time You're a big fish in a small pond You're getting bigger cos you sure know how to climb And it's not as if you ever meant to do wrong but you did and man you left the trail behind When I saw her by the river crying tears for you I tried to comfort her with all the usual lines She told me that she'd made it very clear to you that she'd take you back at any given time And that's the trouble with girls like her They fall for you and hang on every word And that's the trouble with boys like you and me We just keep moving on like it's how it's meant to be But breaking hearts that's all part of the deal you say and to lead somebody on it ain't no crime You shouldn't be hurt feelings get in your way and you should never let the truth play on your mind Coz there's a party on the hill and you're invited and an invitation's always a good sign I'm sure all of your new friends will be delighted you can tell them that the pleasure is all mine And that's the trouble with girls like her You lead them down to hell and they'll push on undeterred And that's the trouble with boys like you and me We lead them and leave them there so thoughtlessly And that's the trouble with girls like her They fall for you and hang on every word And that's the trouble with boys like you and me We just keep moving on like it's how it's meant to be I've not always had good intentions, a moral high ground is seldom mine
