Aimee Mann - Nothing Is Good Enough lyrics

Once upon a time

Is how it always goes

But I'll make it brief

What was started out

With such excitement

Now I gladly 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

Nothing is good enough...
