With a Girl Like You
Navigating Love's Maze: Struggles of Virtue With a Tempting Muse
Lyrics
I try to recycle I try to watch what I eat
Struggling to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including watching diet and recycling.
Try not to lie try not to cheat
Attempting to be honest and avoid deceitful behavior.
I try to do all the things my mama said I should do
Fulfilling the expectations set by one's mother regarding proper behavior.
But it's hard bein' good with a girl like you
Expressing the difficulty of maintaining virtuous conduct in the presence of a particular girl.
I try to stay focused I try to concentrate
Striving to stay focused and concentrated in daily life.
Keep my feet on the ground keep my head on straight
Keeping oneself grounded and maintaining a clear mindset.
I try to live my life like I'm supposed to
Trying to live life according to societal expectations.
But it's hard bein' good with a girl like you
Expressing the challenges of adhering to virtuous behavior when in the company of a specific girl.
With a girl like you I get a little confused
Feeling uncertain and perplexed in the presence of the mentioned girl.
Which way should I turn which path should I choose
Facing decisions about the direction to take in the relationship.
I'm doin' all that I can what more can I do
Putting forth maximum effort to meet expectations and please the girl.
It's hard bein' good with a girl like you
Reiterating the challenge of maintaining goodness or virtue in the context of the relationship.
I give up drinkin' and I don't fool around
Committing to sobriety and avoiding infidelity.
I try not to get too far up or down
Avoiding extreme emotional highs and lows.
I try to do unto others like I'd like to be done unto
Applying the golden rule, treating others as one would like to be treated.
But it's hard bein' good with a girl like you
Reiterating the challenge of maintaining goodness in the presence of the girl.
Oh with a girl like you I get a little confused...
Repeating the feeling of confusion in the presence of the girl.
It's hard bein' good with a girl like you
Reaffirming the difficulty of maintaining virtue in the relationship.
It's hard bein' good with a girl like you
Emphasizing the ongoing challenge of being virtuous with the specific girl.
