As Cool As I Am - Dar Williams[00:00:00]
Yeah there was a time I didn't like the love[00:00:09]
I liked the climbers[00:00:12]
I was no sister then[00:00:13]
I was running out of time and one liners[00:00:14]
And I was afraid like you are[00:00:18]
When you're too young to know the time[00:00:20]
And so I watch the way[00:00:22]
You take your fear and horde the horizon[00:00:24]
You point you have a word for every woman[00:00:27]
You can lay your eyes on[00:00:29]
Like you own them[00:00:32]
Just because you bought the time[00:00:33]
And you turn to me[00:00:36]
You say you hope I'm not threatened[00:00:38]
Oh I'm not that petty[00:00:41]
As cool as I am[00:00:45]
I thought you'd know this already[00:00:46]
I will not be afraid of women[00:00:49]
I will not be afraid of women[00:00:53]
So now we're at a club[00:01:05]
You watch the woman dancing she is drunk[00:01:06]
She is smiling[00:01:09]
And she's falling in a slow descending funk[00:01:09]
And the whole bar is loud[00:01:14]
And proud and everybody's trying yeah[00:01:15]
You play the artist saying[00:01:18]
Is it how she moves or how she looks[00:01:20]
I say it's loneliness[00:01:22]
Suspended to our own like grappling hooks[00:01:24]
And as long as she's got noise she's fine[00:01:28]
But I could teach her[00:01:32]
How I learned to dance when the music's ended[00:01:34]
Oh and that's not petty[00:01:39]
As cool as I am[00:01:43]
I thought you'd know this already[00:01:44]
I will not be afraid of women[00:01:47]
I will not be afraid of women[00:01:51]
You tried to make me doubt[00:02:02]
To make me guess[00:02:04]
Tried to make me feel like a little less[00:02:05]
Oh I liked you when your soul was bared[00:02:09]
I thought you knew how to be scared[00:02:14]
And now it's amazing[00:02:17]
What you did to make me stay[00:02:19]
But truth is just like time [00:02:22]
It catches up and it just keeps going[00:02:25]
And so I'm leaving you can find out[00:02:31]
How much better things can get[00:02:33]
And if it helps[00:02:34]
I'd say I feel a little worse than I did when we met[00:02:36]
So when you find someone else[00:02:40]
You can try again it might work next time[00:02:42]
You look out of the kitchen window[00:02:44]
And you shake your head and say low [00:02:47]
If I could believe that stuff [00:02:49]
I'd say that woman has a halo[00:02:51]
And I look out and say[00:02:54]
Yeah she's really blonde[00:02:55]
And then I go outside to join the others[00:02:58]
I am the others[00:03:03]
Oh and that's not easy[00:03:05]
I don't know what you saw[00:03:09]
I want somebody who sees me[00:03:10]
I will not be afraid of women[00:03:13]
I will not be afraid of women[00:03:17]
