Because I could…

I woke up this morning, confidence brimming

At this point breakfast would be too filling

First thing, smile in the mirror because I could

Because someone with confidence would

Something about today, I thought I could

No scratch that, I KNEW I could.

This line of thinking might be dangerous

But I wouldn’t do anything outrageous

I greeted my neighbor because I could

Because they’re my neighbor and I should

Seriously, what did I eat yesterday

Feeling like this, I’d eat it ever day

Actually, let’s try every other day

Horses are fine just eating hay

Anywho, I crushed my interview because I could

It was like a master carpenter laying down wood

Stay with me, you know what I meant

Clearly, I’m pure and heaven sent

Yes, I know, but this isn’t dangerous

As if I would bring too much risk to us

I flirted with that lovely lady because I could

And if I had to do it over, yes I would

She said something about somebody

They might as well be another nobody

Plus, we’re just two souls wanting a little fun

It’s not as if I asked her to bare me a son

Would you pipe down, the world is mine

I mean obviously this was all a sign

So back to me and my new friend

She’d have just left if she wanted it to end

So I had dinner at her place because I could

Not saying because you could, you should

We were talking about something

Eh, no worries the bell will ring

If you’re wondering what’s next? I could

Yes, all because I could.
