Ain't As Good As It's Gonna Get
By: Noah Eaton
11/8/03

Somebody'd told me she was a sad tomato
Those dimples on her chin just can't seem to glow
She says her heart's a revolvin' door that won't slide
Well baby, sun don't shine on the same dog's tail all the time
C'mon, c'mon, sometimes the fortune ain't right
But much is worth waiting for, so give these lovin' arms a try...

I can read your tears like paperback novels
Every chapter closed with a whole new sadness
Come on sugar, let's make a leap of faith
And turn this tragedy into a Danielle Stelle classic
Some guys make promises they can't keep
But there will come truths occassionally
Darlin' you ain't seen nothin' yet,
cuz it ain't as good as it's gonna get

She says she don't care what the future holds
She only wants a lover of her own
Those who denied you should be sorry like a two-dollar watch
They were just off-key but you are right on
I may not be perfect but I'll tell you only the truth
And if you ever go down I'll go down with you...

I can read your tears like paperback novels
Every chapter closed with a whole new sadness
Come on sugar, let's make a leap of faith
And turn this tragedy into a Danielle Stelle classic
Some guys make promises they can't keep
But there will come truths occassionally
Darlin' you ain't seen nothin' yet,
cuz it ain't as good as it's gonna get

After all you have been through,
you won't believe how much better it'll be
It ain't over till it's over,
give down the country

I can read your tears like paperback novels
Every chapter closed with a whole new sadness
Come on sugar, let's make a leap of faith
And turn this tragedy into a Danielle Stelle classic
Some guys make promises they can't keep
But there will come truths occassionally
Darlin' you ain't seen nothin' yet,
cuz it ain't as good as it's gonna get

Darlin' you ain't seen nothin' yet,
cuz it ain't as good as it's gonna get



I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sun set and I perceive

***Live***

With a heart like yours she will be a very lucky lady to share her heart with you. A kiss for you and your lady.
Love,
Terri~
