Enough Love
Elliott Yamin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I’m glad I got you by my side
Baby girl you’re my anesthesia
You got me high, stepping on cloud nine
Don’t wanna take for credit
I just want you to understand
Just how much you mean to me
I’m sick of talking bout it
I have been giving you enough
Enough of my love
Enough of my love
When I’m down and you know
You alwayš get me back up on my feet
When I’m down and you know
You always get me back up on my feet
And without a doubt it
Kinda happy that you will leave
Cause,
I’m sick of talking bout it
I have been giving you enough
Enough of my love
Enough of my love
Enough of my love
Have I given you,
Have I given you,
Have I given you,
Have I given you,
Enough love
Cause,
I’m sick of talking bout it
I have been giving you enough
Enough of my love
Enough of my love
Enough of my love
See there’s something else I wanna say
You don’t deserve to be treated this way, no
I don’t wanna act anonymous,
Break my promises
Take charge of this no more yeah
Gonna make yourself prioritize
Cause I thought about you and me
I wanna turn that frown upside down
When you come over, oh yeah
When you come around, oh yeah
All I wanna do is try to please you
I feel just looking oh so right
Forget the pašt like you got amnesia
Just everything will be alright
No more talking bout it
I’m giving you my love
I’m giving you my love
I’m giving you my love, love, love
In this song, Elliott Yamin expresses his gratitude and love for his partner. He acknowledges that he needs her in his life and she is the one who makes him feel alive. He compares her to anesthesia, which suggests that she makes him feel numb to the pain and problems of the world. He also admits that he hasn't given her enough credit and wants her to understand how much she means to him. The repetition of the phrase "enough of my love" suggests that he has been putting in his all in the relationship and wants to make sure she recognizes it.
However, the song takes a bit of a turn in the chorus, where he says he is "sick of talking about it" and has given her enough love. This could suggest that he may have been putting in more effort than his partner and expects her to reciprocate. He may feel exhausted or underappreciated and wants his partner to "prioritize" him. Towards the end of the song, he promises to make more of an effort to please her and wants to make everything right.
Overall, this song seems to be a captivating portrayal of a relationship in which love and appreciation are essential components. It recognizes that relationships can be exhausting and require both partners to make an effort to prioritize each other's happiness.
