lyrics

a terrible young man told me to
talk less and smile more
he said that’s what pretty girls are for
light heartedness and nothing more
but i’ve been sad eyes and thick thighs
since i was thirteen and searching for
something to make me feel loved
but that was never enough for me

that will never be good enough for me
that will never be good enough for me

late night on a friday i feel alone
press your number ten times on my telephone
do your parents still
pay for the landline
don’t kiss me here you taste like my chewing gum
you taste just like the moment i’ve been dreaming of
but you will disappoint me
like everybody else does

that will never be good enough for me
you will never be good enough for me
not until i can be good enough for me
i want to be good enough for me

i remember the tennis court before they tore the park down
we played without rackets and it was just a lovely day
i got my first guitar in the evening from my dad who asked
for his cigarettes but knew i would find that great big box
packed into the backseat
and i’m still crying, i was so happy
i’m still crying
it’s all been wonderful
just a long and lovely day
