Alanis Morissette – Sometimes lyrics

Sometimes
It's never quite enough
If you're flawless
Then you'll win my love

Don't forget to win first place
Don't forget to keep that smile on your face

Be a good boy
Try a little harder
You've got to measure up
Make me prouder

How long
Before you screw it up
And how many times do I have to tell you
To hurry up?

If everything I do's for you
The least you could do
Is keep quiet

Be a good girl
You gotta try a little harder
That simply wasn't good enough
To make us proud

I'll live through you
I'll make you what I never was
cause if You're the best
well maybe so am I
Compared to him
Compared to her

I'm doing this for your own damn good
You'll make up for what I blew
What's the problem?
Why are you crying?

Be a good girl
Push a little farther now
That wasn't fast enough
To make us happy

We'll love you
Just the way you are
If you're perfect
