Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Da, da, da, da, da-ah
Da, da, da
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da-ah
Da, da, da
Just enough is never enough
Just enough
Just enough is never enough
Just enough
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Hesitate, you'll be runnin' late for the path that you should be on
Double back and you're off the track and the others are gone
Play it cool and you'll be the fool who just can’t seem to be bothered
You don't get to soon regret because life keeps keeping on
Days turn into years
And life might pass you by
Petrified by your fears
And you're just standing there wishing
That you shouldn't be missing
(Da da da)
Hiding out creates more down and the world keeps getting smaller
And your mind is gone, your friends move on, over there for good
Cautious man head in the sand, he's careful but not living
Never takes a chance and joins the dance or afraid of something good (oh-ooh)
You do less than you are
Unless you do all you can (yeah)
So sense is learning the taught
Anyone can do it
Don't give up and get to it (whoo)
Never is never enough
Never is never enough
I guarantee it
Never ain't gonna be enough
Never is never enough
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Never enough!
Just enough is never enough
Just enough
No, no (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Finding the climb makes you lose your mind and it all seems never-ending
Night and day you work at priest, bein' lookin' for more
All your life you pay the price for to keep the things together
It's so right you can't decide in between your neighborhood
Pleading for return to the wrath
They'll win, if not, here and now (get to it)
Then go and reach for the light
Life can be so thrilling
When you finally get time filling
Never is never enough
Never is never enough
I guarantee it
Never ain't gonna be enough
Never is never enough
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Never enough!
Da da da un dee da (whoo!)
Doo da da un dee dee doo dee (ooh yeah)
Aah, never enough (got some more, got some more, yeah)
Aah, never enough
Doo da da un dee dee doo dee
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da dee da
Just enough is never enough (no)
Just enough (come on give me some more, no)
(Da da da da da da da)
Just enough is never enough (give it your all)
Just enough
Never (never, no)
Never is never enough
I guarantee it
Never (ooh)
Never is never enough
(No)
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da dee da (Ba da ba da ba)
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da un dee da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da dee da (Ba da ba da ba)
