Good as it gets

ain't got style like a magazine-no my shoes don't shine
ain't got pride like a beauty queen-can't even walk a straight line
Somebody say "the best things in life are on the inside"
Say my name, all my love's in vain, in the welfare line

Nobody told me there'd be days like these
There's gotta be somethin' more than misery
it's the salt that stings

chorus:
As Good As it Gets
I want the sunshine, champagne all the time
I'll live on Wine and Roses, so hold me closer
Untill I break a Sweat, it ain't
As Good As it Gets

Workin' on dreams, call 'em "Jelly Beans"
They make me laugh out loud
When the crowd screams-it is good indeed
And makes my mamma proud
Somebody say "the best things in life, get 'em while you can"
Say my name I think it is gonna rain-I got to find my man

Nobody told me where the sun's gonna shine
heaven is only when the good's inside-right before I die

(chorus) repeat

I wanna break out-wanna break out-won't you let me in
wanna make out-wanna make out-fill my cup again
To the fucking rim
As Good As it Gets

Forever young

It was you and me
Sitting in an apple tree
at the summer's end
we were only seventeen
we held on so tight, that September night
then you promised me

chorus:
We're never getting older we're never gonna be that way
Remember when I told ya we would make it out someday
Let them say we're crazy, 'cause we already won
when you promised me, we'd be forever young

I got your letter
I can't seem to put it down
It makes it better
to have a piece of you around
they're all just strangers
their words don't mean a thing
I swear I'll die here
I swear that I'd do anything
to be back again, at the summer's end
when you promised me

We're never getting older, we're never gonna be that way
Remember when I told ya we would make it out someday
They still say we're crazy and I still say we won
when you promised me, we'd be forever young

Sooner or later-time gets the best of you
I should've known better-you gotta do what you gotta do
If I had me a river
I'd sit and watch it run by
I'd never let it run dry
I'm never gonna say goodbye
