There Once Was a Man

there once was a man - john raitt
there once was a man who loved a woman
she was the one he slew a dragon for
they say that nobody ever loved as much as he ee
but me ee
i love you more
and there once was a man who loved a woman
she was the one he gave his kingdom for
they say that nobody ever loved as much as he ee
but me ee
i love you more
my love is a giant fierce and defiant
but how can i prove it to you
ain't got no kingdom or dragon
to back up my braggin
how can i show what i would do
i only know there once was a man
who loved a woman
she was the one he ate the apple for
they say that nobody ever loved as much as he ee
but me ee i love you more
there once was a woman who loved a man
he was the one that she took poison for
they say that nobody ever loved as much as she ee
but me ee i love you more
and there once was a woman who loved a man
he was the one she swam the channel for
they say that nobody ever loved as much as she ee
but me ee i love you more
my love's meteoric it's merely historic
a whirlwind a cyclone on wheels
it rocks my whole solar plexus
it's bigger than texas
i just can't tell you how it feels
i only know there once was a woman
who loved a man
loved him enough to cause the trojan war
they say that nobody ever loved as much as she ee
but me ee
i love you more more more more
more than a hangman loves his rope
more than a dopefiend loves his dope
more than an injun loves his scalps
more than a yodeler loves his alps
more more more more more more more
there once was a man who loved a woman
she was the one he slew a dragon for
they say that nobody ever loved as much as he ee
but me ee
i love you more
but me ee
i love you more
