She Thinks I'm Not Good Enough

from Keeping the Undesirables Out by Emma forman

/

lyrics

Your mother thinks the world revolves round her
Your mother thinks a model would be more suited to your acquired tastes
She reckons I'm too short to be with you
Your mother doesn't understand the mechanics of what we do when the lights off
the lights are off... oh

Your mother doesn't like you hanging with riff raff like me
She thinks you should be with Naomi Campbell, Sharon Stone or maybe Jodie Foster
maybe Jodie Foster..

*chorus
she thinks I'm not good enough for you
she thinks I'm not good enough for you
Simply just not good enough, simply just not good enough
she thinks I'm not good enough for you

Your sister thinks your mother might be right
Maybe you could go back to how you were before
before you dated me when you just slothed about the house
it was pretty handy for getting rides to places she likes
you were always around when she wanted you around
you never had a life before so why start now?

*chorus

Wait a minute you're actually very violent, and nasty,
you're moody, and clingy, obsessive and vain
I liked it when you left, there was no one been mean to then
so why did you have to come back again?
You thought I weren't good enough for you
Yet you crawled back up my path
seeking forgiveness and swearing I'm all you ever
wanted and all you'll ever need

*chorus (slightly different lyrics this time)
I think you're not good enough for me
I think you're not good enough for me
Simply just not good enough, simply just good enough
I think you're not good enough for me
