Q&A
Ain't Good Enough For You Lyrics
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
Like it defies how you got stuck with me
And you complain about the clothes I wear
And you explain there's other boys out there
And you complain my car makes too much noise
And you cry I'm always out with the boys
I give up little darling, yeah, no matter what I do
Hey, 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 you stay in say what are we living for?
Understand there's nothing I can do
There ain't no way I can satisfy you
And then at night, I lean in for a kiss
Here comes a pitch, Swing and a miss!
Oh o, I quit little darling, yeah, no matter what I do
Girl, you know it's true, ain't good enough for you
Oh o, hey hey 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 Bloomingdales
And babe I tried to make the latest's scene
Hidden cool just like Jimmy Iovine
I bought a record with all the latest grooves
A book of love with all the latest moves
I brought some flowers and I went at your door
And you came out didn't wanna see me
Oh o, I quit little darling, no matter what I do
Girl, you know it's true, ain't good enough for you
No matter what I do
Girl, you know it's true, ain't good enough for you
No matter what I do
Girl, you know it's true, ain't good enough for you
And you don't like, don't like the way I talk
You criticize about me endlessly
Like it defies how you got stuck with me
And you complain about the clothes I wear
And you explain there's other boys out there
And you complain my car makes too much noise
And you cry I'm always out with the boys
Hey, you know it's true, ain't good enough for you
You explain I'm really not your type
If we go out you say I'm such a bore
If you stay in say what are we living for?
There ain't no way I can satisfy you
And then at night, I lean in for a kiss
Here comes a pitch, Swing and a miss!
Girl, you know it's true, ain't good enough for you
Girl, you know it's true, ain't good enough for you
I bought a shirt uptown in Bloomingdales
And babe I tried to make the latest's scene
Hidden cool just like Jimmy Iovine
I bought a record with all the latest grooves
A book of love with all the latest moves
I brought some flowers and I went at your door
And you came out didn't wanna see me
Girl, you know it's true, ain't good enough for you
Girl, you know it's true, ain't good enough for you
Girl, you know it's true, ain't good enough for you

Great song! It's very catchy, sounded like they had fun recording it.
Love this song! Meaning is quite simple :) I find it hard to believe the boss himself would have this problem!
My mom doesn't like this song a whole lot because she says it's "sad," but I think she's completely missing Bruce's laughs and the overall fun feeling of it. To me it's more like "all well, I tried, what more can I do?" I love this one, it's got a really nice '60s tune that's extremely hard not to dance to.
