Flirted With You All My Life
[Verse 1]
I am a man
I am self-aware
And everywhere I go
You're always right there with me

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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)

[Refrain]
Oh death, oh death
Oh death, really, I'm not ready

[Verse 4]
Oh death, you hector me
And decimate those dear to me
You tease me with your sweet relief
You are cruel and you are constant
[Verse 5]
When my mom was cancer sick
She fought but then succumbed to it
But you made her beg for it
"Lord Jesus, please, I'm ready"

[Outro]
Oh death, oh death
Oh death, really, I'm not ready (No, no)
Oh death, oh death
Oh death, clearly, I am not ready (No, no)
