Aimee Mann - Nothing is Good Enough текст песни

Once upon a time is how it always goes

But Ill make it brief

What was started out with such excitement

Now Id gladly end end with relief

In what now has become a familiar motif:

That nothing is good enough

For people like you

Who have to have someone take the fall

And something to sabotage--

Determined to lose it all

Critics at their worst could never criticize

The way that you do

No, theres no one else, I find,

To undermine or dash a hope

Quite like you

And you do it so casually, too

Cause nothing is good enough

For people like you

Who have to have someone take the fall

And something to sabotage--

Determined to lose it all

Ladies and gentlemen--

Heres exhibit a

Didnt I try again?

And did the effort pay?

Wouldnt a smarter man

Simply walk away?

It doesnt really help that you can never say

What youre looking for

But youll know it when you hear it,

Know it when you see it walk through the door

So you say--

So youve said many times before

But nothing is good enough

For people like you

Who have to have someone take the fall

And something to sabotage--

Determined to lose it all
