"Flirted With You All My Life" lyrics - COWBOY JUNKIES

I am a man, 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, oh death
Oh death
Really, I'm not ready

Oh death you enter me
Death's unmade those dear to me
And tease me with your sweet relief
You're 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, oh death
Oh death
Really, I'm not ready
No, no, no
I'm not ready, I'm not ready
No, no

Oh death, oh death
Oh death
Really, I'm not ready

Oh death
I'm not ready, I'm not ready...
