John Kay - The Best Is Barely Good Enough lyrics
Words and music by John Kay Once I knew a girl Lived on the other side of town Everybody knew her family's name She had the best of everything While I just had my fun I finally ask her out but she explained The very finest is what I'm used to The very finest it has to be And when she saw me counting my quarters Well, she just never took another look at me She said the best is barely good enough And if that's all you got then it won't do The best is barely good enough And if that's it then I can't go with you Just the other night I played a concert in Atlanta And there she was, right in the second row Afterwards she asked me Would I like to come on over So I explained to her why I said no The very finest is what I'm used to The very finest if nothing more And then she saw me leave with her sister That's when I hollered Through the closing backstage door For me the best is barely good enough And I know what you got and it won't do The best is barely good enough And that is why I just can't go with you Spent that night quiet pleasantly Her sister in my arms We passed the times in many different ways She wondered what I thought of her I said "You're number one You know that's why I'm asking you to stay The very finest is what I'm used to The very finest that's why you're here" But when I asked her how I was doing Well, she just kinda smiled And whispered in my ear She said your best is barely good enough But if that's all you got then it must do The best is barely good enough But if that's it then it will have to do 1978 Rambunctious Music (ASCAP) |
