One Of The Fortunate Few Lyrics - Delbert Mcclinton

Well, for one thing, there was a whole lot of guys 

Who would've liked to have been in my shoes 

But the upkeep on a woman like that 

Will give an old poor boy the blues 

Still the pleasure was worth the pain 

Of everything she put me through 

And I consider myself one of the fortunate few 

Yeah and another thing she wasn't just good looking 

Her imagination just wouldn't quit 

She'd make you do things you never thought about 

And things you wouldn't want to admit 

There must be somebody else out there 

That feels about her like I do 

And I consider myself one of the fortunate few 

It felt so good to hurt so bad 

The best and the worst that I ever had 

I know I bit off a little more than I could chew 

Still, I consider myself, one of the fortunate few 

Well, the last thing I'm gonna tell you 

Some things are better left unsaid 

A gentleman don't go talkin' about 

What happens in a woman's bed 

That's all I've got to say 

I'll leave the rest up to you 

But I consider myself one of the fortunate few
