Just About Glad

I`m just about glad that I knew you once And it was more than just a passing acquaintance I`m just about glad that it was a memory That doesn't need constant maintenance There are a few things that I regret But nothing that I need to forget For all of the courage that we never had I`m just about glad [Chorus:] Just about glad we didn't do that thing Just about glad we didn't have that fling Just about glad we didn't give it a try Just about glad, is that a tear in your eye And on the few times I rang to propose There was a man there or so I suppose The greatest lover that you never had I`m just about glad They called time and vodka and lime In some far flung Canadian club (Just about glad) And there I was just waiting to fall Like a toe just aching to stub (Just about glad) Later on I could never accept it When you finally gave it all to him (Just about glad) And you said that my nurse was sweet But her lamp was just beginning to dim I`m just about glad That we never did that thing we were going to do I`m just about glad I can look you in the eye But I can`t say the same for you And though the passion still flutters and flickers It never got into our knickers For all of the courage that we never had I`m just about, I`m just about I`m just about, I`m just about [Chorus] And it`s all just a stupid creation Of my feverish imagination If I`m the greatest lover that you never had I`m just about, I`m just about I`m just about, I`m just about [Chorus] Is that a tear in your eye [3x] --- Just About Glad - Elvis Costello
