Song title: Ain't good enough for you
Ain't good enough for you - Official 'The Promise' take
Well you don't like, don't like the way I walk
And you don't like, don't like the way I talk
You criticize about me endlessly
Logic defies how you get stuck with me
And you complain about the clothes I wear
And you explain there's other boys out there
You complain my car makes too much noise
And you cry I'm always out with the boys
Whoa whoa (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
I give up little darling (whoa whoa little darling)
Yeah no matter what I do, girl you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
You complain the way I love you at night
You explain I'm really not your type
If we go out, you say I'm such a bore
If we stay in, you say what are we living for
I don't understand, there's nothing I can do
There ain't no way I can satisfy you
End of the night I lean in for a kiss
Here comes the pitch, a swing and a miss
Whoa whoa whoa whoa (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
I quit little darling (whoa whoa little darling)
Yeah no matter what I do, well you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you, hey!
Hey!
(Come on boys!)
Whoa whoa whoa whoa (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
Hey hey little darling (whoa whoa little darling)
No matter what I do, girl you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
I tried to change, I got a job in sales
I bought a shirt uptown in Bloomindales
And babe I tried to make the latest scene
Hitting cool just like Jimmy Iovine
I bought a record with all the latest grooves
A book of love with all the latest moves
I bought some flowers and I waited at your door
And you came out, didn't want to see me no more
Whoa whoa whoa (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
I quit little darling (whoa whoa little darling)
Yeah no matter what I do, girl you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
Hey! Hey! Hey!
No matter what I do, girl you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
Aww no matter what I do, girl you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
Whoaaa!
Ain't good enough for you - Previous circulated take
You dont like the way, like the way I walk
You dont like, like the way I talk
You dont like, the things I do at night
You complain, say that I'm not right
You complain, about the way I dress
You complain, say my hair's a mess
Criticise, all the things I do
No alibi's satisfy
Whoaa
Whats the matter little darling
???
Whoaa
You criticise about the way I drive
No alibi's cause baby they're all jive
???
Whoaa
Hey hey little darling
???
Is never good enough for you
Whoaa
Hey hey little darling
???
???
You complain about the way I drive
You criticise the way I love you at night
All you do ???

You dont like, like the way I dress
You dont like, the way my hair's a mess
You dont like ???
All I want ???
Whoa
Hey little darling
No matter what I do, it's not good enough for you
No matter what I do, it's not good enough for you
No matter what I do it ain't enough for you
