I Owe You Something Good Lyrics

You came along just in time my love
Self pity had got me down
You saved me from me, and from the bottom of my heart
Baby I owe you something good

You came (you came)
And you saw (you saw)
Don't you know that you conquered (conquered) whoa, my heart (my heart)
Just like the Romans said
To the victors belong, belong, belong the spoils

Unreluctantly I submit. My heart told me that I should
(So) so enriched was my reward
Baby I owe you something good

I've loved (I've loved) and I've lost (I've lost) but that's alright
I blame, I blame, I blame, (I blame) myself (myself)
While this old heart of mine, Lord, it refuse
To love, to love, to love anyone else

And then you came and rectified
All the love this old heart had been denied
Then you saved me like you said you would
For this, I owe you something good

Unreluctantly, I submit
My heart told me that I should
Then you came along and saved me like you said you would
For this I owe you something good

Truer words ever spoken by the character Carlos to Damali:

He turned and leaned against the wall, speaking to the floor.  “You know, they tell young brothers to do the right thing….and yet, the options and results are really fucked up.  Dead or alive, the people who say to do the right  thing have the system rigged so that it’s almost impossible to get your head above water by following their convoluted rules…rules that they never followed until after they’d gotten what they’d wanted.”  He glanced up and held her gaze while speaking in a far-off tone.

“I didn’t have to become a vampire to see.  A blind man could see it.  I may not have been to college, but trust me, I’ve been schooled well.  The powerful still plunder countries, neighborhoods, territories, for what they want to seize --- by force.  Robber barons, imperialists, mobsters turned presidents…then, they go legit.  They’ve only cracked open the door to let a few not like them in, and under very controlled circumstances.  Yeah, I messed up while alive, because I wanted the same power they had.  I wanted the same respect.  For me, then, like now, living or existing without that wasn’t, and isn’t, in my DNA.”
