I'm For Gettin'
Got my wish but not what I wantedGot myself but no one to blameCan’t hold out for things to get betterOr even hope things stay the same
I made the worst of all the bad choices Same old thing, tested and trueIt never works, but seems like the right thing to do
Heart made of glass, rising sun settingI’m all for gettin’While the forgettin’s good
Green light Go; foot to the metalAll I had was all it would takeI only wish my heart wasn’t in itI had no idea it could break
I’ve never been the best or the brightestI always think there’s plenty of timeBut last I heard, they haven’t made stupid a crime
Heart made of glass, rising sun settin’I did the best that I couldSafe in the past; that’s what I’m bettin’I’m all for gettin’While the forgettin’s good
Can’t expect to pick ‘em every single time you chooseLucky just to hit the sweet spot of the blues
Saved the day whenever a crisisEach one met and put in its placeBut one big thing I never took care ofIt wasn’t in front of my face
So, this could be a valuable lessonLost on me, ‘till I see the lightI can’t do one, not one thing about it tonight
