My Best Was Never Good Enough |
"Every cloud has a silver lining, every dog has his day."
She said, "Now don't say nothing if you don't have something nice to say
The tough now they get going when the going gets tough."
But for you my best was never good enough
"Now don't try for a home run baby if you can get the job done with a hit
Remember a quitter never wins and a winner never quits
The sun don't shine on a sleeping dog's ass," And all the rest of that stuff
But for you my best was never good enough
"If God gives you nothing but lemons then make some lemonade
The early bird catches the fucking worm, Rome wasn't built in a day
Now life's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get
Stupid is as stupid does," and all the rest of that shit
Come on pretty baby call my bluff
'Cause for you my best was never good enough
