Capital M-E

The nicest man I ever met
Was more malicious than malcontent
Yeah, he taught me how to hold my tongue
And wait to strike till their backs were turned.

And you slither away like the snake that you are
Yeah, you slither away like the snake that you are.

And all I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me now.

The vanities fell correctly beneath
The receding part of his twenties was capital M E
(I couldn't subscribe)
Was capital M E
(But you can't say I didn't try)

You say what you want
(Maybe I didn't get my way)
You say what you want
(Maybe I didn't get my way)
But I got, I got away.

All I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me now.

Was it everything you hoped for?
Was it all of that and more?
Too much too soon or too good to be true
Was it everything you hoped for?
Was it all of that and more?

All I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me now.

But all I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me now.
