I could hold my head up high
And say that I had it first
Or I can hang my head and cry
Tell me which is worse
If you go and ask her why
She might say she's not sure
Trust me when I tell you why,
I'm not good enough for her

Chrous
I want her to be happy
I want her to be free
I want her to be everything,
She couldn't be with me
I'd wait here for a thousand years,
If she'll come back to me
I have everything she wants,
But nothing that she needs

I want her to be happy
I want her to be free
I want her to be everything,
She couldn't be with me

I could hold me head up high
And say that I had it first
Or I can hang my head and cry
Tell me which is worse

If you go and ask her why
She might say she's not sure
Trust me when I tell you why,
I'm not good enough for her
