Magnolia movie - Nothing is Good Enough lyrics

rate me

Song by Aimee Mann<br /><br>

Once upon a time is how it always goes<br>

but I'll make it brief<br>

what was started out with such excitement <br>

now I'd gladly end end with relief<br>

in what now has become a familiar motif:<br>

<br>

That nothing is good enough<br>

for people like you<br>

who have to have someone take the fall<br>

and something to sabotage--<br>

determined to lose it all<br>

<br>

Critics at their worst could never criticize<br>

the way that you do<br>

no, there's no one else, I find,<br>

to undermine or dash a hope<br>

quite like you<br>

and you do it so casually, too<br>

<br>

Cause nothing is good enough<br>

for people like you<br>

who have to have someone take the fall<br>

and something to sabotage--<br>

determined to lose it all<br>

<br>

Ladies and gentlemen--<br>

here's exhibit A<br>

didn't I try again?<br>

And did the effort pay?<br>

Wouldn't a smarter man<br>

simply walk away?<br>

<br>

It doesn't really help that you can never say <br>

what you're looking for<br>

but you'll know it when you hear it,<br>

know it when you see it walk through the door<br>

So you say--<br>

so you've said many times before<br>

<br>

But nothing is good enough<br>

for people like you<br>

who have to have someone take the fall<br>

and something to sabotage--<br>

determined to lose it all<br>

<br>
