Lyrics
NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME
There must be someone who loves me, just the way I am.
You try to change me, you hurt me, and I don't understand.
Get out my life, get out the door, you find out now I'm walking.
You want too much, dont ask for more, I know there's someone out there, and she say's.....
I've done it again, I've been here before,
I'm finding it hard just to get through.
You treated me bad, I wanted you more,
I've found it so hard to resist you,
and I know you're just not good enough for me
I'm back here again and taking a fall,
why is it hard just to get through.
So if I find him, the right one, the man of my dreams.
Will I be happy, will things be as perfect as they seem.
Will I belong, will I get bored, because he's so nice to me.
I just don't know what I want more,
you messed my life up for me,....and she say's.
I've done it again, I've been here before,
I'm finding it hard just to get through.
You treated me bad, I wanted you more,
I've found it so hard to resist you,
and I know you're just not good enough for me
I'm back here again and taking a fall,
why is it hard just to get through.
You're not my life, you're not my love,
but you're the one who thrills me.
You've got no right, to play that part,
just give my life back to me.
You're not the one who cares for me,
and you don't understand me,
I want you out, I want you gone, I want you nowhere near me.
How many times must I tell you.
How many times must I show you.
