When your heart drops through
the floor and her eyes begin to shine
You wonder if she loved you,
was it just the wine
I recall when passion was our only friend
And when a love in conversation
was not a game to win
All the fine young ladies,
I guess I drove them crazy
Compromise was not one of my rules
If I could hold them once again,
I might learn to be a man
Who could satisfy a lady in her prime
If I could hold a fine young
lady one more
time?
Most of them quit drinking,
they left it up to me
They said, drink yourself to kingdom come,
see if it sets you free
Some went to religion,
some bought cats and dogs
I pass their ghosts out on the street
when I'm stumbling through a fall
All the fine young ladies,
I guess I drove them crazy
Compromise was not one of the rules
If I could hold them once again
I might learn to be a man
Who could satisfy a lady in her prime
If I could hold a fine young lady
one more time
Well, is this town called
Dublin, mister, or are we in
Milan, or on the beach of
Costa
Rica, lying on the sand?
I live mostly now in memory I
came here for the best
My name's
J.
Alfred
Prufrock, sir
Hey, isn't that a laugh?
All the fine young ladies I
guess I drove them crazy
Compromise is not one of the rules
If I could hold him once again
I might learn to be a man
Who could satisfy a lady in her prime
If I could hold a fine young lady one more time
