<< Nothing Is Good Enough >>
|
--- Aimee Mann
|
|
Once upon a time is how it always goes
|
but I'll make it brief
|
what was started out with such excitement
|
now I'd 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, there's 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--
|
here's exhibit A
|
didn't I try again?
|
And did the effort pay?
|
Wouldn't a smarter man
|
simply walk away?
|
|
It doesn't really help that you can never say
|
what you're looking for
|
but you'll know it when you hear it,
|
know it when you see it walk through the door
|
So you say--
|
so you've 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
|
