Good Intentions

(album: Phoenix - 1975)

You make me wait on you
And all I wanna do
Is get next to you
It's just like singing a song
Holding a note, holding a note
That's too high for you

I'd like to mention
That your good intentions
Just ain't good enough

You said that I could be wrong
But every time you come up empty
I know that I could be wrong
Going down, getting it up
Sure ain't easy

There's no pretension
I'd like to mention
That your good intentions
Just ain't good enough

Good intentions
Sure ain't enough
If you can't keep them
When the going gets rough

Good intentions
Won't get you by
They'll just become
Another thing undone
In your life

Good intentions
Sure ain't enough
If you can't keep them
When the going gets rough
Good intentions
Won't get you by
They'll just become
Another thing undone
In your life

Never, never, never
Ever good enough

All I wanna do
Is get next to you
I know that I could be wrong
But every time you just come up empty
