Not Enough Lyrics

to love somebody naturally
to love somebody faithfully
to love somebody equally
is not enough
is not enough
is not enough
to love somebody secretly
and never touch
to love somebody honestly
and always trust
to love somebody tenderly
the tender touch
is not enough
is not enough
love hurts sometimes
it's not so easy to find, no
searchin' everywhere
you turn and swear
it's always been there
to love somebody foolishly
can happen once
to love somebody hopelessly
it hurts so much
to love somebody equally
is not enough
is not enough
is not enough
love takes a little time
it's not so easy to find, no
searchin' everywhere
you turn and swear
she's always been there
standin' there....oh
and if it don't come easily
one thing you must believe
you can always have trust in me
because my heart will always be
yours honestly
love hurts sometimes
it's not so easy to find, no
searchin' everywhere
then turn and swear
it's always been there
standin' there
love hurts sometimes
not yours, it's not mine, no
love's only to share
turn and swear
it's everywhere
standin' there
'cause it's always been there

I think this song means that no matter what you do in love, it's never really enough. Sometimes you're in love so much that you feel like you can never do enough to prove your love.

Cover art for Not Enough lyrics by Van Halen

I think it means that just loving someone isn't enough and that you have to be completely devoted to that person and they have to be completely devoted to you.. and that you may find that your one true love has 'always been there'.

Unbelievable song. That's all I have to say.

Cover art for Not Enough lyrics by Van Halen

I interpret this song as warning that true love doesn't exists in fact without forgiveness of the mistakes of the beloved person. See the video, it fits perfectly the lyrics. The part when it shows the messages "Forgive, forget", is the key of the meaning. Being passionate, romantic, careful, foolish, is not enough to survive the test of time.

My Interpretation

After way too many failed relationships...I think I finally found the woman that I can spend the rest of my life with. She and I have a great relationship.
