cool in this life

Singer:john martyn

life has been good to me

i been good to this life

life's been cool with me

i been cool all my life

sometimes i cry

just like a baby try for me baby

life was sitting right with me

i was sitting right with life

i was sitting right with my children

they were sitting right with my wife

saddened by life from time to time

saddened by my presence don't open 'em 'til christmas

sometimes i cry

just like a baby try for me baby

try for me baby

sometimes i cry

just like a baby try for me baby

try for me baby

off of your knees c'mon up and try me

get off of your knees c'mon up and try

off of your knees come and try a man like me

stop your crying

stop that crying

life been good to you

you been so good to this life

life will be cool with you if you're cool with life

it could be bad for you

could be worse for me

dear lord don't you know you gotta try

sometimes i cry

just like a baby

raise my standards high

wave my flag and raise my standard high

try a man like me

try a man like me

try a man like me

try a man like me

raise my standards high

raise them standards high

raise them standards high

wave the flag

c'mon

try a man like me

c'mon

try a man like me

raise my standards high

try a man like me

raise my standards high

try a man like me
