lyrics

They told me, “These songs all sound the same. Can you hear it?
That same old, tired refrain—can you hear it?”
And I think, “Do I have it in me?”
‘cause I don’t think I’m witty enough
to write something you would listen to.

(Whoa) It’s bad ‘cause it’s better; it’s bad ‘cause it’s back.
(Whoa) They get something new; they don’t know how to react.
(Whoa) We’ll try to give it the best we have,
but if perfect’s what they need, good luck with that.

They told her, “Hey, girl, you look all wrong. Can you see it?
Too dark, too thin, too tall. Can you see it?”
And she thinks, “Do I have it in me?”
'cause she don't think she's pretty enough
to be the face they put up on the screen.

(Whoa) It’s bad ‘cause it’s better; it’s bad ‘cause it’s back.
(Whoa) They get something new; they don’t know how to react.
(Whoa) We’ll try to give it the best we have,
but if perfect’s what they need, good luck with that.

Don’t make a sound.
They’ll come around.
And they will find
that the ones who they just paid no mind
were just who they’ve been needing all this time.

If they say, “You just don’t have the stuff,” go and get it.
Keep them in mind and make them regret it.

(Whoa) It’s bad ‘cause it’s better; it’s bad ‘cause it’s back.
(Whoa) They get something new; they don’t know how to react.
(Whoa) We’ll try to give it the best we have,
but if perfect’s what they need, good luck with that.
If perfect’s what they need, good luck with that.

supported by 6 fans who also own “Good Luck with That”

Louie Zong truly puts his inner child in creating such comical and witful songs that makes us daydream of childish nonsense yet makes us contemplate the nuanced melodies with such heart warming dedication. Music is a feeling and it doesn't need to be complicated. Only needs to be fully expressed in fun lyrics. Lovely songbook.😊👏🏼 josedenoche
