Lyrics
I've been trying to have a good life
But no one wants you to be satisfied
They double the bill and split the difference Leave you paying down the interest
They say you get what you pay for
I bought a mattress at the discount store I feel like I'm sleeping on a concrete floor I guess you get what you pay for
Why's it so hard to have a good thing? It should be easier you would think You better be rich and good looking Cause it's so hard to have a good thing
I'm just trying to have a good life Clams casino on a Sunday night Betting the house on a bottle of wine I'm just trying to have a good time
Is it so bad to want a good thing? Don't even let em catch you looking Don't let em see you get your foot in
Is it so bad to want a good thing? Cause all I want is just a little bit more Is that so much for me to ask for?
And clams casino on a Sunday night Is it so bad to want a good life?
Is it so bad to want a good life?
She said all you do is bitch and moan You're never happy and you're never home Everyone wants what they don't have And you really don't have it half bad
But baby I'm trying to express myself You know the doctor said it might help If I can release some of this tension
If I can make peace with this question
Is it so bad to want a good thing? Don't even let em catch you looking Don't let em see you get your foot in
Is it so bad to want a good thing? Cause all I want is just a little bit more Is that so much for me to ask for?
And clams casino on a Sunday night Is it so bad to want a good life?
Is it so bad to want a good life?
Is it so bad to want a good life?
