Lyrics
Ain't Good Enough For You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well you don't like, don't like the way I walk
And you don't like, don't like the way I talk
You criticize about me endlessly
Logic defies how you get stuck with me
And you complain about the clothes I wear
And you explain there's other boys out there
You complain my car makes too much noise
And you cry I'm always out with the boys
Whoa, whoa
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
I give up, little darling
(Whoa, whoa, little darling)
Yeah no matter what I do, girl, you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
You complain the way I love you at night
You explain I'm really not your type
If we go out, you say I'm such a bore
If we stay in, you say what are we living for
I don't understand, there's nothing I can do
There ain't no way I can satisfy you
End of the night I lean in for a kiss
Here comes the pitch, a swing and a miss
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
I quit little darling
(Whoa, whoa, little darling)
Yeah, no matter what I do, well, you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you, hey!
Hey!
(Come on, boys!)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
Hey, hey, little darling
(Whoa, whoa, little darling)
No matter what I do, girl, you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
I tried to change, I got a job in sales
I bought a shirt uptown in Bloomingdales
And, babe, I tried to make the latest scene
Hitting cool just like Jimmy Lovine
I bought a record with all the latest grooves
A book of love with all the latest moves
I bought some flowers and I waited at your door
And you came out, didn't want to see me no more
Whoa, whoa, whoa
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
I quit, little darling
(Whoa, whoa, little darling)
Yeah, no matter what I do, girl, you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
Hey! Hey! hey!
No matter what I do, girl, you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
Aw, no matter what I do, girl you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
Whoa!
