lyrics

The shades were a nice touch
After you led me down the garden path
I guess shame don’t come easy to some

I bit my tongue and I said nothing
Though I have plenty to say —
When it comes to the fruit of the poisoned tree
Some folks must like the taste

You sure had a lot of gall
Chew’n me out and all

Well, you may be good looking
But that may not be good enough

I’ll admit I took the tenderloin
But I gave you a prime cut
You'd barely tried a mouthful
Before you spit it all out

I hitched my wagon to your star
I made a leap of faith
My efforts were lambs to the slaughter
Your only value was your face

You butchered your own damn name
You're a poster child for the vain

Well, you may be good looking
That may not be good enough

I teeter between resentment and pity
You’re a saboteur; You’re a flake
Next time I’ll choose a partner
Not a self-consuming snake

It’ll be hard to watch you have success
Still I wish you well and all the best

Remember though…
You may be good looking
That may not be good enough
