[Verse 1]
Come hell or high water
You just do as you please
Waste your time when you oughta
Be charming the birds from the trees
A voice straight from heaven
So you like to believe
Who cares if it's only
Your poor self you deceive?

[Bridge]
You look in the mirror
And what do you see?
Too much care and scheming
Too little beauty

[Verse 2]
Come hell or high water
You never will be
Goddess or a genius
A drunkard at twenty-three
And all that you yearn for
Is attention I guess
Come hell or high water
You deserve nothing less
[Verse 3]
Come hell or high water
You will stay off the rails
I won't try to change you
For God knows I would fail (I would fail)
And it's to the angels
That each day you pray
Come hell or high water
I know you will meet them someday
