Lyrics
NOT ENOUGH - John O'Brien
Met a lady just the other night
Told me she was feeling uptight,
feeling lonely all alone,
felt so bad she couldn't go home,
She said, it's not enough
to live real good in a big white house,
So I told her she better be off and on her way
Talk to a man just the other day
And to me he did say,
He was tired of looking around
for the lover that he's never found,
He said, Its not enough
to live real good in a big white house,
So I told him he better be off and on his way
All these people want the same thing
To be loved blindly by a plaything,
Me I'm happy with the good life I've had
My happy home and the luck that I've had
I leave my bad times always behind
For me love has been easy to find
I say, It's enough
to live real good in my own sweet house
so I'll tell you, you better be off and on your way
If you can't find a way to see the world my way END
