Sorry if I haven't measured up
To all your high expectations, oh yeah
I'm simply not good enough, good enough
I don't give off good vibrations
To you I'm just a big-time loser
Haven't held a steady job in years
How can I hope to defend myself
When what I say always falls on deaf ears
This is all that I am
You got certain high standards
That I could never hope to meet
I'm simply not good enough, good enough
To kneel at your royal feet
Maybe I should go to finishing school
And learn some proper etiquette
But no matter how hard I try
You will look at me like I'm all wet
You've got a dream life going
And me I'm living a living nightmare
How can you get where I am coming from
When you got nothing, nothing to compare
