Found myself some brand new friends
Took up a few bad habits again
I partied every single night this week

Late for work three days in a row
When she left she was right I know
'Cause she said I'd never amount to anything

[Chorus]
I'm living up to her low expectations
I'm becoming everything she said I'd be
I'm living up to her low expectations
'Cause her low expectations are high enough for me

I had to drop that night school class
Who's got the time when you're havin' a blast?
The waitress here thinks I'm the cutest thing

Boss told me didn't get that raise
But what the heck? That's okay
Because I never did deserve it anyway

[Chorus]

Yes, her low expectations are high enough for me
