Original Cast Recording feat. Colin Hanlon as good as i get

Select language to translate this lyric

You say to try
You say to work
You say you're sure I could be more than this adolescent jerk
And I say look I've been trying ever since the day we met
But this adolescent jerk might be as good as I get
I've let you down
It's what I do
I must admit I've pulled some shit
that I regret a time or two
But I may not get much better
and since I'm not there yet
A man who lets you down might be as good as I get
I'm not saying I'm not trying
I'm not saying I won't try
but if you want extraordinary
I'm gonna come up shy
I wish I could be better
But I'm just an ordinary guy
Who loves you a lot
And maybe that's all I got
It's not ideal
At least its true
Perhaps your man does what he can
and comes up short
But still loves you
You say to leave
I'm good as gone
I'd rather be upfront now
than let you down later on
And you might have to take a gamble
because I'm not a sure bet
And there's an extraordinary chance
that this ordinary man
Who loves you
might be as good as I get
Its as good as I get
