He's got a future that is bright and happy
You'll never want for anything
And he seemed nice enough as he smiled at me
Nice and polite don't make him right
And he ain't good enough for you and it hurts
But I know you could do so much worse
No I can't put all the years in reverse
So I'll probably get to like him
But the thing that's really frightening
Is I think I was just like him and it hurts
I never pictured you with lords and princes
Though I had you down for better things
But that look you got it sure convinces
He's Mr Right, it's in your eyes
But he ain't good enough for you and it hurts
That I know you could do so much worse
No I can't put all the years in reverse
So I'll probably get to like him
But the thing that's really frightening
Is I think I was just like him and it hurts
We all leave home trying to make it on our own
But darling you don't have to
There's a cost to living and there's a price to giving
So wise up tonight, he still ain't right
He ain't good enough for you and it hurts
But I know you could do so much worse
No I can't put all the years in reverse
So I'll probably get to like him
But the thing that's really frightening
Is he ain't good enough for you and it hurts
But I know you could do so much worse
No I can't put all the years in reverse
So I'll probably get to like him
But the thing that's really frightening
Is I think I was just like him and it hurts
Yes I think I was just like him and it hurts
