Song lyrics
Sometimes is never quite enough
If you´re flawless, then you´ll win my love
Don´t forget to win first place
Don´t forget to keep that smile on your face 
Be a good boy
Try a little harder
You´ve got to measure up
And make me prouder 
How long before you screw it up
How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up
With everything I do for you
The least you can do is keep quiet
 
Be a good girl
You´ve gotta try a little harder
That simply wasn´t good enough
To make us proud
I´ll live through you
I´ll make you what I never was
If you´re the best, then maybe so am I
Compared to him compared to her
I´m doing this for your own damn good
You´ll make up for what I blew
What´s the problem . . . why are you crying 

Be a good boy
Push a little farther now
That wasn´t fast enough
To make us happy
We´ll love you just the way you are if you´re perfect 
lyrics corrected by Dylan

I love this song, although my parents don't push me THAT much, I am still pushed far, and since I go to a selective school, most of my friends parents have very high expectations of them.

yeah my parents have good intentions but they do push me far too and i know this sounds really stupid but i think it was made for me too. like i listened to it over and over. Not to complain, i love my parents but they deff. have their moments and this song seems to catch those moments and more. very very moving song.

I absolutely love this song. My mom pressures me like that and I make her listen to it everytime she gets like that. I just go to my room and turn it up as loud as I can and make sure that she can hear it. I absolutely love Alanis, she is a god

I love Alanis.

This song is sad but hits hard.

All Alanis songs seem like they are written for all of us.


Brilliant song, not one of the best, but very, very good.
