Lyrics

Obviously

Recently I've been Hopelessly reaching Out for this girl Who's out of this world Believe me

She's got a boyfriend He drives her round the bend 'Cause he's 23 He's in the marines He'd kill me

But so many nights now I find myself thinking about her now

'Cause obviously, she's out of my league But how can I win, she keeps dragging me in And I know I never will be good enough for her No, no I never will be good enough for her

I got to escape now And get on a plane now, yeah Off to LA And that's where I'll stay for two years

Put it behind me (put it behind me) And go to a place where she can't find me, oh

'Cause obviously, she's out of my league I'm wasting my time 'cause she'll never be mine And I know I never will be good enough for her No, no I never will be good enough for her

She's outta my hands And I never know where I stand 'Cause I'm not good enough for her Good enough for her (Enough, enough, enough for her) Good enough for her Good enough for her

'Cause obviously, she's out of my league I'm wasting my time 'cause she'll never be mine And I know I never will be good enough for her 'Cause obviously, she's out of my league But how can I win, she keeps dragging me in And I know I never will be good enough for her

'Cause obviously, she's out of my league I'm wasting my time 'cause she'll never be mine And I know I never will be good enough for her No, no I never will be good enough for her
