Story Behind the Song
After hearing about one too many unhappy love relationships, Lisa came up with this driving, straight-ahead rocker. The repeating phrase "Are you good enough for My Girlfriend" sums it up.
Recorded at Oz Studios in Baltimore, MD.
Lyrics
My Girlfriend called, said: something's wrong...
love just ain't the same anymore.
I said: It's funny, it's funny I never noticed before...
it looked like heaven to me,
looked like heaven to me.
She said: I try, I try, I try I just can't win...
can't be lovers, and we can't be friends.
I said: God, I really hope it works out in the end...
it looked like heaven to me,
looked like heaven to me.
Sometimes it's tough
when in love we trust.
The right look, right stuff,
but are you good enough,
are you good enough,
are you good enough for My Girlfriend?
She said: All I want is a little respect,
a little patience, some intellect.
I said: I know just what you mean--it ain't easy to get
but just like heaven to me,
yeah, it's just like heaven to me.
Sometimes it's tough
when in love we trust.
The right look, right stuff,
but are you good enough,
are you good enough,
are you good enough for My Girlfriend?
You might be really fine
and promise to be kind..
you might be rich as hell but tell me, tell me, tell me tell me...
are you good enough
are you good enough,
are you good enough for My Girlfriend.
