lyrics

We never went out walking hand in hand
You never spoke of your dreams or plans
Why'd it take me so long to see
You're good on paper bad for me
Good on paper, but bad for me

You had a way of coming on easily
Took what you wanted the best of me
Now we spend all our evenings apart
You're good on paper hard on the heart
Good on paper, but hard on the heart

If we could have shared a slow dance or two
Like a flower real love might have bloomed

But you never threw your arms around my neck
Never lingered on my front porch step
Why'd it take me so long to know
You're good on paper all for show
Good on paper, but all for show

If we could have shared a slow dance or two
Like a flower real love might have bloomed

We never went out walking hand in hand
You never spoke of your dreams or plans
Why'd it take me so long to see
You're good on paper bad for me
Good on paper, but bad for me
oh oh you're good on paper, but bad for me
oh oh, so good on paper, but bad for me
