I don't mind losing a girl to herself A quiet love is better than none And I don't mind losing a friend to a friend If only to be a reasonable man
And I don't mind waiting if it's for the best A careful heart is better than none I don't mind painting my back with the past Pictures in resolute pain Smoothing the laugh o'er the lane
But if it happens to you The same kind of deal I recommend fire Instead of the fool
I don't mind shaking your hand at the door If only to be a resolute man (Pictures in resolute pain) If only to be a resolute man If only to be a resolute man
But if it happens to you The same kind of deal I recommend fire Instead of the fool
I don't mind shaking your hand at the door If only to be a resolute man (Pictures in resolute pain) If only to be a resolute man If only to be a resolute man
If only to be a reasonable man If only to be a reasonable man
