I'll never grow up, I won't try I can live with that, don't ask why I am resigned that this is me If I can take it, why can't she?
I am bad at my best, but she will not accept that I can't get away with things I might regret She makes me get started when nothing's ever through And I do the best that I can do but
Mimi gets mad when I make her wait Mimi gets mad when I phone too late But then Mimi gets sad if I hurt myself Can't say that about nobody else
Someone should tell her honestly She is a fool to count on me I swore there would be no delay I should have been here yesterday
So I sneak in the door and there she is again She could squeeze off a shot just as soon as look at me She don't say a word and every word is true And if that's the best that I can do then
Mimi gets mad every time I'm wrong Mimi gets mad when I sleep too long But then Mimi gets glad when I do my share See no smile but I know it's there
There must be a dozen other boys She could give her anger to I'm the only one, it doesn't matter what I do It's not very pretty but it's absolutely true That I'm still the best that she can do so
