Everything that I do just doesn't seem 
Quite good enough for you 
No matter how hard I try you still complain 
You're never satisfied 

And I don't know how I can put up with you 
Do you realize that you 
criticize every single thing that I do 

Well I'm just trying to do the best that I can 
So why are you always bringing me down? 
I make the best of every circumstance 
so why are you always bringing me down? 
Does it make you feel better? 

Anytime that I want to do anything 
You tell me it's not right 
And it seems like every time, you talk to me 
You're trying to start a fight 

And I don't know how much more I can take of you 
When you put down, and you turn around 
Every single thing that I do 

Well I'm just trying to do the best that I can 
So why are you always bringing me down? 
I make the best of every circumstance 
so why are you always bringing me down? 
Does it make you feel better? 

You're so condescending, it's making me mad 
You go out of your way just to make me look bad 

And I don't know how I can put up with you 
Do you realize that you criticize every single thing that I do 
And I'm getting tired of your attitude 

Well I'm just trying to do the best that I can 
So why are you always bringing me down? 
I make the best of every circumstance 
so why are you always bringing me down? 
Does it make you feel better?
