The lyrics of Craig David feat. Artful Dodger's song It Ain't Enough are about a complicated relationship where the singer is not receiving the love and commitment they desire. The phrase "wanting it, it ain't enough" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the idea that desire alone is not sufficient for a satisfying relationship. The lines "I tried to comprehend the reasons for your games / I just can't understand why you cause me pain" suggest that the other person is playing games and causing the singer emotional distress.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Doin' it again and again / Get up, get up, get down, tell your friend" implying a cycle of behavior that the singer and their partner are trapped in. They keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. The repeated "Oh eh" and "do do do" add to the overall catchy and upbeat nature of the song, despite the lyrics being somewhat melancholic.
Overall, "It Ain't Enough" is a song about unrequited love and the pain of being in a relationship that is not fulfilling. By repeating the phrase "wanting it, it ain't enough," the song suggests that love requires more than just feelings of desire; it requires commitment, honesty, and effort from both partners.
