Cover art for As Cool As I Am lyrics by Dar Williams

this is a great song and i believe it's about staying in a relationship that was not good by any means but that she just stayed in b/c someone "loved" her. It's one of my favorites about her. my favorite part is ... "oh and thats not easy I don't know what you saw, I want somebody who sees me." Unfortunately it is misquoted here. I am a big Dar fan!
