Fair Enough (Mike Lusk)

I tend to think that near enough is
Fair enough to pass
Amused that fair to some means
Less than upper class
Close but not quite class enough to
Mingle with the best
Smiling moving right up close this
Girl I met impressed

We both were at this party held to
Bring in the New Year
The invite read informal
So I wore my coolest gear
Close but not quite class enough to
Mingle with the best
Now near enough to shake hands I
Kissed her and confessed
I said it's nice to meet you, just
Wish I looked the part
Think I'll drive back home re-dress
Make another start
Cool but not dressed well enough to
Ask you for a dance
I really hope you'll hang around, I'd
Love a second chance

Bridge:
She said the party's nothing like I thought it might have been
Look at them and look at you, there's daylight in between
They're class and, yes, you're dressed too cool to mingle with the best
Near and cheek to cheek she whispered don't care how you're dressed
Right now
Just for now
Take me home with you and I can promise
Fair enough?
Cross my heart I promise
I'll show you how
Take me home with you
I'll show you how
Fair enough?
Fair enough

I told her yes please show me
How to look the part
Yeah, come with me to my place
Dress me up real smart
Just bad luck I'm dressed too cool to
Join you for this dance
Come on, let's get moving I'll
Take your promised chance
Fair enough?
Fair enough

I tend to think that near enough is
Fair enough to pass
Amused that fair to some means
Less than upper class
Close but not quite class enough to
Mingle with the best
Her hand in mine held tightly this
Girl I met impressed

Departed, out of sight she yelled out don't care how you're dressed
It's cool
Just don't care
Fair enough
Get me quickly to your home and I can promise
It's a Promise
Cross my heart and promise
I'll show you how
Alone just me and you
I'll show you how
Fair enough?
Fair enough
Fair enough?
Fair enough
Cool
Fair enough
