Cyndi Grecco - Feeling Better Lyrics
I want to take you back to the high school gymnasiumWith the freshmen and sophomores sitting on this sideAnd the juniors and seniors sitting on that sideAnd way down thereAt the end of the gymnasium is the football teamAnd as I walk down on the red crepe paperMy high-heeled shoes are digging into my feetAnd my push-up bra is digging into my ribsAnd this tall, good-looking guy I'm holding onto over hereHe's the basketball captainHe whispers under his breath, "Oh, shoot!"But I keep smiling as I walk down thereHolding onto the arm of this big, strong manSee, I'm the football princessAnd that's what football princesses do is smileSee, I was a freshman thenAnd you were one of the lettermenThe nights were warm in victory's nameI know the others knewThat heaven was to be with youAnd when the deadly was in, of courseThe two of us would win "Most likely to succeed"You were going to study lawAnd I'd be what my teachers sawA glowing smile, a college queenThe woman behind the manWho seemed to need to have the best in lifeIncluding me, a faithful wifeThey planned the wedding in advanceUnafraid to take a chance that children would succeedChorus:I'll be damned, we all pulled throughTo think of all the crazy things we wanted to doYou would be a hero and I'd be a queenThink of all the living we'd have passed up, passed byNever would have seen itI'll be damned, we all pulled throughTo think of all the crazy things we wanted to doWell, it may sound silly, but I tell you it's realThe older I get, a whole lot better I feelYour hair is long and braided nowAnd I can hardly remember howIt felt to have smooth, shiny legsOr what you looked like in your pegged pantsI work at a mountain schoolMy hammer and my mind as toolsYou were living on a farmA brand new baby in your armsThey're tight, we did succeedThe age is showing on my handsAnd you've become a wiser manSurvival took us separate waysBut through the years the memory staysWithin my mind of how we lookedWhen we first had our pictures tookWe thought the dream would never endBut now we don't have to pretendThat we will all succeedRepeat Chorus
