It's Not Enough Lyrics
It's not enough
Whatever you give
A little bit more
You always need
A little more man
A little more seed
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It's never enough
I gave you cash
I gave you love
All that I heard
Was "It's Not Enough"
I work so hard
It gets to 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
He'll choose you over me
Because I have lent
Every ounce of my juice
My essence is spent
You'll always want
A little more pink
I'll always need
A little more ink
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It's never enough
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
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It's never enough
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 Les Mepris
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
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It'll never be enough
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
It's never enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It'll never be enough
I'll never hold you
How can I scold you?
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It'll never be enough
Whatever you give
You always need
A little more man
A little more seed
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It's never enough
I gave you love
All that I heard
Was "It's Not Enough"
It gets to tough
Whatever I give
Never feels like enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It's never enough
I keep taking your stuff
Make sure that you know
It's never enough
As to turn to my friend
Who once warned me of you
Said you'd hasten my end
He'll choose you over me
Because I have lent
Every ounce of my juice
My essence is spent
A little more pink
I'll always need
A little more ink
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It's never enough
However I puff
Though you may smile
It won't be enough
When I start to bluff
An' the lift's going down
An' I start acting tough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It's never enough
To finish filling me up
I'll smile and admit
You were never quite enough
In Godard's Les Mepris
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
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It'll never be enough
You will never play rough
I'm the one who will scream
But it won't be enough
It's never enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It'll never be enough
How can I scold you?
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It'll never be enough

Great song! The first single I've heard off of Endless Wire. Man alive, he's still got such an amazing voice!
Obviously this song is just being fed up because he is just never satisfying this lady. She always wants more and more.
This song definately takes you to a different level with The Who. I don't think they can write a bad song. They still have it. One of few who can keep putting out good music even though they are getting up there in age.
It puts an angry feeling in me.
