Just Ain't Good Enough - Johnnie Taylor

It was nearly nine 0'clock When I thought about you Are you with someone else? It was almost ten o'clock When I thought I'd do something to free myself And then about 12 o'clock I'm driving down your block I see a light Shining underneath your door I'm home about 1 o'clock And you finally call me up And I guess I was hoping for just a little more You give me Just enough To keep me hanging on Till I'm ready to move on And then you find a way, to make your play And then I stay Just enough To give me hope That you will fall in love with me Just enough, Just enough, baby Will you come and see me today Well I don't know It's part of the mystery Will you come and tell me you love me Or let me go I guess we'll have to see You're unpredictable And that keeps me interested But I'd rather have you right here instead You give me Just enough To keep me hanging on Till I'm ready to move on And then you find a way, to make your play And then I stay Just enough To give me hope That you will fall in love with me Just enough, Just enough, baby Oh, oh(bis) You give me Just enough To keep me hanging on Till I'm ready to move on And then you find a way, to make your play And then I stay Just enough To give me hope That you will fall in love with me Just enough, Just enough, baby Oh, oh I've been thinking in the back of my mind I'm losing sleep I'm losing time But I just keep on falling I'm falling I'm falling Oh Oh It gets harder to define In my heart and in my mind I know, I know...

I've been going home with just enough whiskey Making me forget that maybe you miss me Swiping my way through a Friday night Leave you on read and turn out the lights Whiskey at midnight, it's Too cold to think twice if I let you get inside I might not lose my mind tonight Oh, shit I made a scene Feels good to just be me Hurry up, we're out of time so Hit the cig and bum a ride I've been going home with just enough whiskey Making me forget that maybe you miss me Swiping my way through a Friday night Leave you on read and turn out the lights I wonder sometimes if you would forgive me I could reach out but nah, it's too risky Keeping my thoughts in my head tonight Leave you on read and turn out the lights Meet me at midnight, I'm Too gone to think twice if You let me get inside You just might lose your mind tonight Oh, shit we made a scene Spilling all over me Hurry up, we're out of time It's you and me alone tonight I've been going home with just enough whiskey Making me forget that maybe you miss me Swiping my way through a Friday night Leave you on read and turn out the lights I wonder sometimes if you would forgive me I could reach out but nah, it's too risky Keeping my thoughts in my head tonight Leave you on read and turn out the lights I'll see your ghost tonight Each time I close my eyes It happens every time I'll see your ghost tonight We'll fall straight from the sky Wake up and realize I've been going home with just enough whiskey Making me forget that maybe you miss me Swiping my way through a Friday night Leave you on read and turn out the lights I wonder sometimes if you would forgive me I could reach out but nah, it's too risky Keeping my thoughts in my head tonight Leave you on read and turn out the lights Forgive, I wish you'd forgive me Forgive, I wish you'd forgive me Forgive, I wish you'd forgive me Forgive, I wish you'd forgive me Forgive, I wish you'd forgive me Forgive, I wish you'd forgive me Forgive, I wish you'd forgive me Forgive, I wish you'd forgive me

Put your lips close to mine As long as they don't touch Out of focus, eye to eye 'Til the gravity's too much And I'll do anything you say If you say it with your hands And I'd be smart to walk away But you're quicksand This slope is treacherous This path is reckless This slope is treacherous And I, I, I like it I can't decide if it's a choice Getting swept away I hear the sound of my own voice Asking you to stay All we are is skin and bone Trained to get along Forever going with the flow But you're friction This slope is treacherous This path is reckless This slope is treacherous I, I, I like it Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you, get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should, think you should know That nothing safe is worth the drive And I would follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home This hope is treacherous This daydream is dangerous This hope is treacherous I, I, I I, I, I I, I, I Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you, get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should, think you should know That nothing safe is worth the drive And I will follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home This slope is treacherous I, I, I like it

Elevator buttons and morning air Strangers' silence makes me wanna take the stairs If you were here, we'd laugh about their vacant stares But right now, my time is theirs Seems like there's always someone who disapproves They'll judge it like they know about me and you And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do The jury's out, but my choice is you So don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours You never know what people have up their sleeves Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me Lurking in the shadows with their lip-gloss smiles But I don't care, 'cause right now you're mine And you'll say, "Don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours" And it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong, and Your hands are tough, but they are where mine belong, and I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you 'Cause I love the gap between your teeth And I love the riddles that you speak And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos Will be ignored, 'cause my heart is yours So don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard Don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine But they can't take what's ours They can't take what's ours The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours

Tall, dark, and superman He puts papers in his briefcase and drives away To save the world or go to work It's the same thing to me He's got his mothers eyes, his father's ambition I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him I hang on every word you say And you smile and say, "How are you?" I'll say, "Just fine" I always forget to tell you I love you, I love you forever I watch superman fly away You've got a busy day today Go save the world, I'll be around And I watch superman fly away Come back, I'll be with you someday I'll be right here on the ground When you come back down Tall, dark and beautiful He's complicated, he's irrational But I hope someday you'll take me away and save the day, yeah Something in his deep brown eyes has me singing He's not all bad like his reputation And I can't hear one single word they say And you leave, got places to be and I'll be okay I always forget to tell you I love you I loved you from the very first day I watch superman fly away You've got a busy day today Go save the world I'll be around And I watch superman fly away Come back, I'll be with you someday I'll be right here on the ground When you come back down And I watch you fly around the world And I hope you don't save some other girl Don't forget, don't forget about me I'm far away but I'll never let you go I'm lovestruck and looking out the window Don't forget, don't forget where I'll be Right here, wishing the flowers were from you Wishing the card was from you Wishing the call was from you 'Cause I've loved you from the very first day I watch superman fly away You've got a busy day today Go save the world, I'll be around Forever and ever I watch superman fly away I swear, I'll be with you someday I'll be right here on the ground When you come back down La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la When you come back down
