Lyrics for My Best Was Never Good Enough

Every cloud has a silver lining, every dog has his day She said now don't say nothing If you don't have something nice to say The tough now they get going when the going gets tough But for you my best was never good enough Now don't try for a home run baby If you can get the job done with a hit Remember a quitter never wins And a winner never quits The sun don't shine on a sleepin dogs ass And all the rest of that stuff But for you my best was never good enough If God gives you nothin but lemons then you make some lemonade The early bird catches the fuckin' worm Rome wasn't built in a day Now life's like a box of chocolates you never know what you're going to get Stupid is as stupid does and the rest of that shit Come on pretty baby call my bluff 'Cause for you my best was never good enough
