Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's just not me
That′s just not me
That's just not me
I can't love ′em, no
And I won′t trust 'em, no
A young nigga worked too hard
Cause the money is a motive
I guess the money got me open
And I've been drinkin′ for a minute
Shit, that's just how a nigga livin′
She don't wanna go raw
And she [?] so hard
She keep it so open
While I'm deep in her ocean
I can′t even though I think about what it could be
I tried to love ′em but it's just not me
And I can′t even though deep inside I'm incomplete
I tried to love ′em but it's just not me
Sometimes I feel bad about it
Sometimes I don′t give no fucks
And sometimes I want me somebody
But these hoes is just not enough
Sometimes I feel bad about it
Sometimes I don't give no fucks
Sometimes I need somebody
But these hoes is never enough
I can't fall no more
I won′t let myself
Seems like every time I′ve tried
I hurt someone else
While I hurt me too
I'm so on the loose
She′s so over me
I'm not over you
Yeah I did my dirt
Hit you where it hurt
I put your heart in the mix
Issues that I need to fix
But I guess a nigga focused
They say that money is the motive
Can′t you hear, I'm so broken
When it comes to love think I′m just hopeless
I can't even when I think about what it could be
I tried to love 'em but it′s just not me (No)
And I can′t even though deep inside I'm incomplete
I tried to love ′em but it's just not me
Sometimes I feel bad about it
Sometimes I don′t give no fucks
And sometimes I want me somebody
But these hoes is just not enough
Sometimes I feel bad about it
Sometimes I don't give no fucks
Sometimes I need somebody
But these hoes is never enough
I can′t even though I think about what it could be
I tried to love 'em but it's just not me
And I can′t even though deep inside I′m incomplete
I tried to love 'em but it′s just not me
Sometimes I feel bad about it
Sometimes I don't give no fucks
And sometimes I want me somebody
But these hoes is just not enough
Sometimes I feel bad about it
Sometimes I don′t give no fucks
Sometimes I need somebody
But these hoes is never enough (never enough)
Never enough
Sometimes I need somebody
But these hoes is
Never enough
Never enough
Sometimes I need somebody
But these hoes is
Never enough
In Trey Songz and MIKExANGEL's song "Never Enough," the artists delve into their complex emotions surrounding love and infidelity. The repeating refrain of "That's just not me" emphasizes the internal struggle they face, attempting to resist the temptation of other women but ultimately failing. They acknowledge that their desire for money and material possessions has absorbed them to such an extent that they cannot devote themselves fully to a relationship. They also remark that even when they find a partner, they still feel incomplete and unfulfilled.
Despite their compulsive infidelity, the artists express moments of remorse and self-reflection. They acknowledge their past mistakes and their tendency to hurt others while also acknowledging that they, too, have been hurt. The use of the phrase "hurt me too" highlights the cyclical nature of heartbreak and the difficulty of breaking free from toxic romantic patterns. The juxtaposition of moments of regret and moments of indifference towards their partners highlights the internal turmoil they experience when attempting to reconcile their desires with their sense of morality.
Overall, "Never Enough" is a honest exploration of conflicting desires and the struggle for fulfillment within a relationship.

That's just not me
I am not the type of person to love or trust others
I can't love 'em, no
I am unable to love others
And I won't trust 'em, no
I am unwilling to trust others
Cause the money is a motive
My desire for money is driving me
She don't wanna go raw
She doesn't want to have unprotected sex
While I'm deep in her ocean
While I'm having sex with her
I tried to love 'em but it's just not me
I attempted to love someone, but it isn't within my personality
And sometimes I want me somebody
Sometimes I desire a real relationship
But these hoes is just not enough
Casual sexual encounters aren't satisfying
I can't fall no more
I refuse to fall in love again
I'm so on the loose
I'm single and free to do as I please
Can't you hear, I'm so broken
I'm emotionally damaged
When it comes to love think I'm just hopeless
I believe love is impossible for me
Sometimes I need somebody
Occasionally, I crave a real connection with someone
But these hoes is never enough
Sleeping around doesn't fulfill my emotional needs
Never enough
I can never be satisfied with casual encounters
