8. It's Not Enough (4:02)
[Verse 1]
It's not enough
Whatever you give
A little bit more
You always need
A little more man
A little more seed
[Chorus]
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It's never enough
[Bridge]
I gave you cash
I gave you love
All that I heard
Was It's Not Enough
[Verse 2]
I work so hard
It gets so tough
Whatever I give
Never feels like enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It's never enough
When I'm on my knees
I keep taking your stuff
Make sure that you know
It's never enough
You said you'd go as far
As to turn to my friend
Who once warned me of you
Said you'd hasten my end
Because I have lent
Every ounce of my juice
My essence is spent
[Bridge]
You'll always want
A little more pink
I'll always need
A little more ink
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
However I praise
However I puff
Though you may smile
It won't be enough
Right at the end
When I start to bluff
An' the lift's going down
An' I start acting tough
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
I'll find someone else
To finish filling me up
I'll smile and admit
You were never quite enough
Like Brigitte Bardot
In Godard's Le Mépris
I can't love you enough
To make you complete
You appear in my dreams
With some new courtier
You need me there to see
What you need to convey
[Chorus]
[Verse 5]
No hysterical scene
You will never play rough
I'm the one who will scream
But it won't be enough
It's never enough[x2]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I'll never hold you
How can I scold you?
[Chorus]
It's not enough
Whatever you give
A little bit more
You always need
A little more man
A little more seed
[Chorus]
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It's never enough
[Bridge]
I gave you cash
I gave you love
All that I heard
Was It's Not Enough
[Verse 2]
I work so hard
It gets so tough
Whatever I give
Never feels like enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It's never enough
When I'm on my knees
I keep taking your stuff
Make sure that you know
It's never enough
You said you'd go as far
As to turn to my friend
Who once warned me of you
Said you'd hasten my end
Because I have lent
Every ounce of my juice
My essence is spent
[Bridge]
You'll always want
A little more pink
I'll always need
A little more ink
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
However I praise
However I puff
Though you may smile
It won't be enough
Right at the end
When I start to bluff
An' the lift's going down
An' I start acting tough
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
I'll find someone else
To finish filling me up
I'll smile and admit
You were never quite enough
Like Brigitte Bardot
In Godard's Le Mépris
I can't love you enough
To make you complete
You appear in my dreams
With some new courtier
You need me there to see
What you need to convey
[Chorus]
[Verse 5]
No hysterical scene
You will never play rough
I'm the one who will scream
But it won't be enough
It's never enough[x2]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I'll never hold you
How can I scold you?
[Chorus]
