Too Good To Be True — Live From Spotify NYC

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You walked in shining brighter than a headlight Turning every head like a diamond in a coal mine Packing more punch than a Mississippi fistfight Oh oh, oh my my Walked my way, took my hand, said "Let's go" Had more game than the Mandalay Casino Thought I hit the jackpot, I was on a good roll Shows you what I know [Chorus] Too good to be true Like diamonds on the soles of my shoes Like money falling out of the blue Don't be fooled He ain't nothing but too good to be real Don't believe the way he's making you feel He'll break your pretty heart in two Momma told me about boys like you Too good to be true [Verse 2] Before I knew it my heartstrings unwound I fell faster than a cannonball straight down Everybody talking all over this town: "Look there he goes again" Lie lie lied like a politician Shoulda read the headlines, paid more attention To my suspicions, my intuition I shoulda listened [Chorus] Too good to be true Like diamonds on the soles of my shoes Like money falling out of the blue Don't be fooled He ain't nothing but too good to be real Don't believe the way he's making you feel He'll break your pretty heart in two Momma told me about boys like you Too good to be true [Bridge] I shoulda seen it from a mile away I should have called a spade a spade I shoulda known that you [Chorus] Were too good to be true Like diamonds on the soles of my shoes Like money falling out of the blue Don't be fooled He ain't nothing but too good to be real Don't believe the way he's making you feel He'll break your pretty heart in two Momma told me about boys like you Too good to be true Too good to be true [Outro] Yeah, you're just too good to be (too good to be) You're just too good to be (too good to be) You're just too good to be true Too good to be true, yeah You're just too good to be You're just too good to be You're just too good to be true [Speaking: Spotify host] I half expected Cherrill to smash the mandolin after that performance. Fantastic [Speaking: Dean Berner] We're gonna do one called Last Supper. This is one that, it's on the record. One that Hannah wrote, and you know, when you're writing a lot of songs, we go through phases where we're really writing a lot. Sometimes two or three writing sessions a day. You're hopping around, trying to finish songs and stuff. It's easy to lose track of stuff once you've finished them. Usually we'll send little work tapes around by email, but this is one that Hannah forgot to send to us, and about a month later we're listening through all the work tapes and figuring out what songs are really good and have a chance to make it on the record and which ones we kind of need to keep working on. And this is one that Cherrill and I were both blown away by when we heard it. So it's a little heartbreaking but we like it
