Can't Get Enough
Eyes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

GIVE IT UP, CUZ I DON'T WANNA SEE U LOSE AGAIN
IT'S ABOUT TIME U OPENED UP YOUR EYES
IF U ROLL THE DICE, U'D BETTER THINK TWICE
IT'S A MORAL WITH NO STORY'S END
BUT U WANNA GIVE IT 1 MORE TRY

GET ENOUGH, CAN'T GET ENOUGH
GREEN BACKS' LIKE A BLUE CHIP KISS
GET ENOUGH, CAN'T GET ENOUGH

ROCK IT UP, OR WELL I SEE U GOT THE BLUES AGAIN
THE SPOTLIGHT JUST DON'T SEEM THE SAME NO MORE
IT'S ALL BUT A DOUBT, YOU'RE JUST SELLIN' OUT
NO 1'S BUYIN' NO 1 GIVES A DAMN

BUT U WANNA GIVE IT 1 MORE TRY

GET ENOUGH, CAN'T GET ENOUGH
GREEN BACKS' LIKE A BLUE CHIP KISS
GET ENOUGH, CAN'T GET ENOUGH

OOH, MONEY'S THE ROOT OF ALL SIN
OH, NO 1'S GONNA LET US WIN, NO

GET ENOUGH, CAN'T GET ENOUGH




GREEN BACKS' LIKE A BLUE CHIP KISS
GET ENOUGH, CAN'T GET ENOUGH

Overall Meaning
