How Good It Feels

(album: The Candidate - 1979)

At the end of the day with my senses away
When I'm managing no sign of life
And I can't even show you how good it feels to be with you tonight
Well I'm sorry if I stumble, I wish I could open my heart

It's not a heart of stone that I may have shown
But a tragic lack of the lover's tact
You don't know how good it feels to be with you
You got the lover's dream of positivity
Women's magazine sensitivity
Oh you don't know how good it feels to be with you

Give me a chance in this modern romance
Give me some explanation or clue
To help me to show you how good it feels being here with you
But don't expect to be serenaded 'cause you know that that just ain't my style

It's like a dream machine with a tragic scene
Like a life of fame with anonymity
Oh you don't know how good it feels to be with you
With your lover's dream of positivity
Women's magazine sensitivity
Oh you don't know how good it feels to be with you

Don't ask me now if I'm inside or out
If I'm over the moon, starry-eyed
You should know by now how good it feels being here tonight
I find it so hard to be romantic, it's so hard for me to explain

With your understated simplicity
Your collector's piece of antiquity
Oh you don't know how good it feels to be with you
With your lover's dream of positivity
Women's magazine sensitivity
You don't know how good it feels to be with you
Oh you don't know how good it feels to be with you
Oh you don't know how good it feels to be with you
