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 me round the bend
'Cause he's twenty-three
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 gotta escape now
Get on a plane now, yeah
And off to LA
And that's where I'll stay
For two years

I'll put it behind me (put it behind me)
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 ('cause I'm not good)
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
