Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ain't got no secrets for you
But what's up
I ain't faking love for you tonight
You know
I can't say the thought has crossed my mind, my mind
I'll leave when you sleep
Take my hit and leave
While you play repeat, baby
You should take a seat
You don't miss a beat
You want it all
Baby why you want it all, 'cause
You give me your love, but it's never enough
I don't want your touch, 'cause it's never enough
You say it's a crush, but it's never enough
You know, ah-ooh
We're playing this game, but it's never enough
I don't wanna change, 'cause it's never enough
There's no one to blame that it's never enough
You know, ah-ooh
These nights so cold
You won't let go
My heart is ghost for you
You give me your love but it's never enough
You down
Every time I call you answer
What now
You look like you're hooked and it's no surprise
I'm out
Just one look and I'ma get you high, high
I'll leave when you sleep
While you dream of me, baby
Take my hit and leave
While you play repeat, baby
You should take a seat
You don't miss a beat
You want it all
Baby why you want it all, 'cause
You give me your love, but it's never enough
I don't want your touch, 'cause it's never enough
You say it's a crush, but it's never enough
You know, ah-ooh
We're playing this game, but it's never enough
I don't wanna change, 'cause it's never enough
There's no one to blame that it's never enough
You know, ah-ooh
These nights so cold
You won't let go
My heart is ghost for you
You give me your love, but it's never enough
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Never enough
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Never enough
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Never enough
Enough, enough, enough
You give me your love, but it's never enough
I don't want your touch, 'cause it's never enough
You say it's a crush, but it's never enough
You know, ah-ooh
We're playing this game, but it's never enough
I don't wanna change, 'cause it's never enough
There's no one to blame that it's never enough
You know, ah-ooh
These nights so cold
You won't let go
My heart is ghost for you
You give me your love but it's never enough
The lyrics of Kate Stewart's song "Never Enough" explore the theme of a tumultuous and unsatisfying romantic relationship. The song is essentially a reflection on the singer's dissatisfaction with the love they receive from their partner. The first verse suggests that the singer is being open and honest, not keeping any secrets, but also acknowledges that their love for their partner is not genuine. The line "I can't say the thought has crossed my mind" indicates that the singer has considered leaving the relationship.
In the chorus, the singer expresses their frustration with the inadequate love they receive. They state that their partner's love is never enough, regardless of the physical touch or their claims of attraction. The repetition of the line "You know, ah-ooh" emphasizes the recurring disappointment the singer feels. The second verse further emphasizes this dissatisfaction, with the singer noting that their partner is always available when they call, but this constant availability suggests a dependence on the singer rather than genuine connection.
The bridge of the song marks a shift in tone, with the lyrics describing the cold nights and the singer's heart becoming a ghost, symbolizing emotional detachment. The repetition of the line "You give me your love, but it's never enough" reinforces the central theme and highlights the singer's unfulfilled desire for something deeper and more meaningful in the relationship.
