lyrics

Friend of a friend
Up on the north end In nursing school
I had been let down
You had come around, forgot the rules

But then I slowly became something
That wasn't good enough to bring home to Dad
You seemed so disappointed
That I didn't go to school and the job I had

I tried to join the Navy
They told me I was way too slow for that
I went for a Park Ranger
I was just a little bit too fat

I was fitting myself in a box
That was too small for me right from the start
But I was trying to impress you
And hoping that you wouldn't break my heart

Was I not good enough for you?
Was I in the wrong cocoon?
I guess, what else could a caterpillar do
For a girl that won't accept you
It's the same situation as before
It's the same way I walked out the door

I may not be a scholar, ranger, or a naval admiral
Maybe I was never anything that
You viewed as acceptable

But I was already losing up to that day
When your daddy died
I knew I'd never hold a candle
So I wasn't even going to try

Was I not good enough for you?
Was I in the wrong cocoon?
I guess, what else could a caterpillar do
For a girl that won't accept you
It's the same situation

Was I not good enough for you?
Was I in the wrong cocoon?
I guess, what else could a caterpillar do
For a girl that won't accept you
Nope Nothing
Uh Uh Goodbye
So Long
So Long Now
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
