Little schoolboy you got quite a way to go
Learning how to write and how to say hello
You're pretly good boy when you count from one to three
But pretty good just ain't enough to set you free
Pretty good just ain't good enough
Just want you to understand
That we always do the best we can best we can
Close but no cigar
Pretty good just ain't good enough
Little schoolgirl is looking for some love
Fellows stand in line you don't have to
Push and shove
You think you're so damned good so go and
Strut your stuff
You'll find out pretty soon that it just
Ain't good enough
Pretty good just ain't good enough
Just ain't good enough
Just want you to understand
That we always do the best we can best we can
Close but no cigar
Pretty good just ain't good enough
Some kind of people always think and act so tough
They wanna get it all when all they need is love
I think that now the time has come to call their bluff
They'll find out what they do just won't be good enough
Pretty good just ain't good enough
Just ain't good enough
Just want you to understand
That we always do the best we can best we can
Close but no cigar
Pretty good pretty good
Pretty good just ain't good enough
Just ain't good enough
Just want you to understand
That we always do the best we can best we can
Close but no cigar
Pretty good just ain't good enough
Pretty good just ain't good enough
Pretty good
Pretty good just ain't good enough
Pretty good just ain't good enough
Pretty good just ain't good enough
