When he'd call her on the phone
 She was good to come and get him
 When he couldn't make it home
 She was good to make love to
 And they did now and then
 She was good to never ask
 When he'd be back again

 She wasn't good enough for him
 For his family or his friends
 He kept her out there on a limb
 Wouldn't let her go, wouldn't let her in
 She wasn't good enough for him

 She was there on his bad days
 And for years he led her on
 We all knew she had a bad case
 He was doing her all wrong
 She couldn't bring herself to do the right thing
 Break it off and say goodbye
 'Til she overheard him one night tellin'
 Somebody on the side that

 She wasn't good enough for him
 For his family or his friends
 He kept her out there on a limb
 Wouldn't let her go, wouldn't let her in
 She wasn't good enough for him

 She was good at late night listening
 When he'd call her on the phone
