Been So Good, Been So Far

I was doing all those things which I used to hate the worst
I was listening to Joni Mitchell and I was tucking in my shirt
Now I smiled like a puppy dog who was scratching all his fleas
I'll itch right down to the bone and it wouldn't even hurt

There's times that I remember, yeah
And there's the things that I forget
Like the colour of your eyes and the time that we first met
But I always take the time out and it's a-hurtin' more and more
To feel my heart jump out of my chest when I'm a-knockin' at your door
For a big old dog, he sure acts like a cat
The more you wanna play, the more he'll scratch back
Oh, ah oh oh oh
As sweet as you've been, it just don't add up
And I'm a-drinkin' sweet bubbles from a paper cup
I know who you are and you've been so good to me so far

Yeah, forgot all my girlfriends and I even washed my hair
And I did all that couples' stuff and I pretended that I cared
And I smiled like a twelve year old who wanted to stay 'round
After all the after-dinner drinks had been put down

Eight is enough but nine's too much
You wheeled over me like an interstate truck
Oh no, oh oh no
If I'd be such a lightweight
Why can't I just be blown away from
Who you are and you've been so good to me so far

You can call and I won't cry
I just can't find the reason why
I know who you are and you've been so good to me so far

I've been doing all those things which I never did at all
And you sure would laugh if you could hear the crap I talk
But I never saw it coming, I just couldn't see that morning rain
That soiled all our clothes that I left hanging out again

You can call and I won't cry
I just can't find the reason why
I know who you are and you've been so good to me so far

Yeah, you can call and I won't cry
I just don't know the reason why
I love who you are and you've been so good to me so far

You've been so good to me so far
You've been so good to me so far
