Lyrics
When your heart drops through the floor
And her eyes begin to shine
You wonder if she loved you
Was it just the wine?
I recall when passion
Was our only friend
And when a loving conversation
Was not a game to win
All the fine young ladies
I guess I drove 'em crazy
Compromise was not one of my rules
If I could hold 'em once again
I might learn to be a man
Who could satisfy a lady in her prime
If I could hold a fine young lady one more time
Most of them quit drinkin'
They left it up to me
They said drink yourself to kingdom come
See if it sets you free
Some went to religion
Some bought cats and dogs
I pass their ghosts out on the street
When I'm stumbling through a fog
All the fine young ladies
I guess I drove 'em crazy
Compromise was not one of the rules
If I could hold 'em once again
I might learn to be a man
Who could satisfy a lady in her prime
If I could hold a fine young lady one more time
Well is this town called Dublin, mister
Or are we in Milan?
Or on the beach of Costa Rica
Lying on the sand?
I live mostly now in memory
I came here for the best
My name's J. Alfred Prufrock, sir
Hey, isn't that a laugh?
All the fine young ladies
I guess I drove 'em crazy
Compromise is not one of the rules
If I could hold 'em once again
I might learn to be a man
Who could satisfy a lady in her prime
If I could hold a fine young lady one more time
