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
