Good Luck (But Maybe I'm Close Enough) Poem by Colin Coplin

What's that you said, what you said, what you said
What's that you said, what you said, what you said

You say you're looking for your knight in shining amour
Someone who'll rescue you when you fall
Someone, whose chivalry knows no boundary
Someone who'll answer when you call
Good luck. But maybe I'm close enough

Through the wind and the rain, through the drought and champaign
My love for you shines through
Like the sun, like the sun, like the sun
Bad boy, bad boy, sometimes I'm a bad boy, bad boy, bad boy, sometimes I'm a bad boy

What's that you said, what you said, what you said
What's that you said, what you said, what you said

You say you're looking for your charming prince of passion
He who'll recite sweet verse in your ear
Someone who'll bring you flowers constantly
And remember special days throughout the year
Well good luck. But maybe I'm close enough

From dawn through to dusk, through dark night's dim drab blanket mask
My love for you shines through
Like the sun, like the sun, like the sun
Bad boy, bad boy, sometimes I'm a bad boy, bad boy, bad boy, sometimes I'm a bad boy

What's that you said, what you said, what you said
What's that you said, what you said, what you said

You say you're looking for your Casanova
Someone who'll know your each and every mood
Someone with an understanding so developed
All ten senses so finally tuned
Yes, someone who'll know your each and every mood
Good luck. But maybe I'm close enough

From autumn through to spring, and then back again
My love for you shines through
Like the sun, like the sun, like the sun
Bad boy, bad boy, sometimes I'm a bad boy, bad boy, bad boy, sometimes I'm a bad boy

What's that you said, what you said, what you said
What's that you said, what you said, what you said

You say you want someone you can be proud of
Sometimes serious, sometimes a clown
Someone who'll sing a song and dance with you
Someone to share the joys that you found
Good luck. But maybe I'm close enough

Through hope and the fear, through the cloak and veneer
My love for you shines through Like the sun, like the sun, like the sun
