Nothing Is Good Enough Lyrics - Bachelor No. 2 - 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 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
