Would It Be So Bad? Songtext
von Trout Fishing in America

Would it be so bad if she were beautiful?
Is it asking too much to ache like I want to ache?
Would it be so bad if she were to be nice
And to say something sensible once or twice?
I know it shouldn′t be important but it would sure be great
To get what you ask for and not tempt fate
Would it be so bad if she still thought about real love?
And I'm thinking maybe we could even have a thing or two in common
If I′m dreaming this deep, could she be really, really rich?
I know it'd be a problem but I could get over it
I know it shouldn't be important but it would sure be great
To get what you ask for and not tempt fate


Cleopatra, Mona Lisa, all the way to Marilyn Monroe.
Well, I′ve seen them. They happen
Some things are worth waiting for
For a really long time, I′ve been living here all alone
Sometimes I make contact but it never lasts long
But I'm taking my time, I don′t want to mess it up
Won't catch me drinking my wine from a bottle or a paper cup
I know it shouldn′t be important but it would sure be great
To get what you ask for
I know it shouldn't be important but it would sure be great
To get what you ask for and not tempt fate
To get what you ask for and not tempt fate
