lyrics

I'm not righteous enough for you, baby
'Cause for all your faults, you're honest, and that's better than me
I knew if I told you the truth you'd leave
I'm not righteous enough for you, baby

I'm not righteous enough for you, sweetheart
I was typecast as the villain and you know I played my part
You saw my evil nature at the start
I'm not righteous enough for you, sweetheart

I'm a fortunate one with unfortunate ways
Overspending my time, wasting my days
On fleeting pleasures that are never as good as they seem
Can we pretend this was all just a dream?

'Cause I'm not righteous enough for you my sweet
Only a wretched soul would lie and cheat
But how much longer must I grovel at your feet?
Cause I'm not righteous enough for you my sweet
