Good As Gold Lyrics - Singles - Melissa Mcclelland

Who keeps track of things like that? 

Well, I do 

You better make me happy 

Or I'll be howling at the moon 

It's all fun and games 

Till I'm feeling blue 

I discovered a continent in you 

But now I've settled 

So I'm hitting every party 

Gonna find myself some fun 

We'll take uppers in the morning 

Light our cigarettes off the sun 

When night falls we'll go cruising 

And drink until we're numb 

And I'll make you 

Make you want me 

Want me until I'm done 

Here's your last attempt 

At keeping me at bay 

You're gonna chain me to every word I say 

Oh, my resolve is weak 

I always crack 

And I've been reading too much Nin 

And you Kerouac 

When you wake up in the morning 

I'll be motionless and cold 

You will bring to me some water 

Yeah, you'll do what you're told 

When I see you looking somber 

I'll say, "Babe you're as good as gold 

But I can't see you again tonight 

I've got a reputation to uphold" 

Then he whispered in my ear 

"You're a sly bitch, you are" 

So I drank away my headache 

And I stumbled out of his car 

Through the fogged up glass of the window 

He made a clearing with his hand 

And with his eyes he told me 

"One day you'll understand"
