Title: Real Good Man
Author: Amy
Disclaimer: I don't own Grey's Anatomy, or the lyrics to 'Real Good Man' by Tim McGraw.
Author's Note: Spoilers for 'Life During Wartime'. I feel like this song fits Alex perfectly.
Girl, you've never known no one like me,
up there in your high society.
They might tell you I'm no good,
girl, they need to understand
just who I am.
I may be a real bad boy,
but baby, I'm a real good man.
"So, are we screwing other people or not?"
"What?"
"I just want to know if you're going to go off and screw O'Malley or some other loser. 'Cause then I don't have to cancel my plans with the chick from pedes."
"You're an ass."
"What?"
I may drink too much and play too loud,
hang out with a rough and rowdy crowd.
That don't mean I don't respect
my mama or my Uncle Sam.
Yes sir, yes ma'am.
I may be a real bad boy,
but baby, I'm a real good man
"What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me? We've been sleeping together for a week and already you're bored. I am hot! And great in bed. So, what is wrong with you?"
"I didn't say I was bored. I just asked whether I should keep sleeping with Michelle. I'm asking if you're all in! What's so wrong with that?"
"You're a barbarian. How can I be all in with an actual barbarian?"
"Fine. Holly is radiology thinks I have a hot ass. I'll tap that next."
"You do that."
I might have a reckless streak
at least a country-mile wide.
If you're gonna run with me,
it's gonna be a wild ride.
When it comes to loving you,
I've got velvet hands.
I'll show you how a real bad boy
can be a real good man.
"Thought you were sleeping with Michelle tonight. Or was it Jackie?"
"Iz…"
"I've had a hard day Alex. Would you please just leave me alone?"
"Izzie..."
"What!"
"I'm not good at this. I'm not good at… relationships or talking about stupid feelings. And you are, so maybe you could teach me or something. Tell me where I go wrong."
"You don't want us to see other people. You don't want us to see other people and that's how you tried to tell me! By asking if it was cool if you screw Michelle."
I take all the good times I can get;
I'm too young for growing up just yet.
Ain't much I can promise you,
'cept to do the best I can.
I'll be damned.
I may be a real bad boy,
but baby, I'm a real good man.
"You want lessons, huh?"
"I want lessons."
"Okay, you start with, 'Isobel Stevens, you are staggeringly good in bed. You are
amazingly smart, wonderfully funny, and you care about animals.'."
"That's where I start?"
"Mmm. And then you say, 'Do you wanna go steady with me?'."
"That's what I'd say if it were 1952."
"Alex?"
"Yeah?"
"You wanna go steady with me?"
"If that's what you want. I mean, yeah, whatever."
I may be a real bad boy,
oh but baby, I'm a real good man.
Yes I am.
