Unofficial studio version
...Three, four!
You don't like, don't like the way I walk
You don't like, don't like the way I talk
You don't like the things I do at night
You complain, say that I'm not right
You complain about the way I dress
You complain, say my hair's a mess
Criticize all the things I do
No alibi's satisfy
Whoa whoa whoa whoa (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
What's the matter little darling (what's the matter little darling)
???
Ain't good enough for you
You criticize about the way I drive
Your alibis, baby, they're all jive
I know I'm ??? but I do my best

And you scream like the way I ???

Ain't good enough for you
You complain about the way I drive
You criticize the way I love you at night
And all you do, doo doo na na
I don't know why, da da da da da da
You don't like, like the way I dress
You don't like the way my hair's a mess
And you don't like da da da da da da
And all I want is ???
Whoa whoa whoa whoa (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
Hey hey little darling (hey hey little darling)
Oh God no matter what I do, no matter what I do

Prior to the release of The Promise in 2010, one studio take of AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU had been circulating on bootlegs. It was recorded in the Oct-Dec 1977 period at The Record in New York City, NY. The lyrics vary from the official studio version. Bootleggers have used the title "What's The Matter Little Darling".
The above lyrics are for that unofficial studio version of AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU. It can be found on The Definitive River Outtakes Collection Volume 2 (E. St. Records) [disc 2, track 08] and Deep Down In The Vaults (E. St. Records) [disc 2, track 09] bootlegs.
