Flirted With You All My Life

I am a man

And I am self-aware

And everywhere I go

You're always right there with me

I flirted with you all my life

Even kissed you once or twice

And to this day I swear it was nice

But clearly, I was not ready

When you touched a friend of mine

I thought I would lose my mind

But I found out with time

That really, I was not ready, no, no

Oh death

Really, I'm not ready

Oh death, you enter me

Death's made those dear to me

Tease me with your sweet release

You are cruel and you are constant

When my mom was cancer sick

She fought but then succumbed to it

But you made her beg for it

Sweet Jesus, please I'm ready

Oh death

Really, I'm not ready

No, no, no

I'm not ready

I'm not ready, no, no

Oh death

Really, I'm not ready

Oh death, I'm not ready

I'm not ready

Oh death

I'm not ready

Oh death
