But it's not good enough for you

Oh ho, my darling, what more can I do
Doin' the best , the best I can
But it's not good enough for you

Who didn't mind at all
I'll be a dreamer, I'll be a fool
Oh ho, my darling, my whole life through
Doin' the best
The best I can
But it's not good enough for you
You know I was the kind who'd run
Any time you'd call
I guess I was the only one
Who didn't mind at all
I'll be a dreamer
I'll be a fool
Oh ho, my darling
My whole life through
Doin' the best
The best I can
But it's not good enough for you
But it's not good enough for you
