Lyrics:
SHE CAME INTO THIS LIFE WITH A PRETTY FACE
AND A ROOM FULL OF PRESENTS ALL OVER THE PLACE
IT DIDN’T TAKE LONG TO FORGET ALL THAT STUFF
AND SOON THAT GREAT BIG SMILE WAS JUST NOT ENOUGH
IN SCHOOL SHE STUDIED HARD AND SHE DID REAL WELL
IF SOMETHING WAS WRONG, NO ONE COULD EVER TELL
BACK AT HOME THINGS STARTED GETTING REALLY TOUGH
AND EVEN THAT JOB SHE GOT WAS NOT ENOUGH
SHE DROPPED OUT OF COLLEGE TO WORK FULL TIME
AND SHE GAVE HER PARENTS EACH AND EVERY DIME
WHEN HER FATHER STARTED DRINKING IT STARTED GETTING ROUGH
AND MADE HER FEEL THAT ALL SHE DID WAS NOT ENOUGH
BETWEEN THE MEN WHERE SHE WORKS AND HER LIFE BACK AT HOME
SHE SEES HERSELF AS WORTHLESS AND LEFT ALL ALONE
SHE WAS THE PERFECT MARK FOR THE GUY WHO COULD BLUFF
AND NOW HER BABY’S GOT NO FATHER ‘CAUSE SHE DIDN’T DO ENOUGH
NOT ENOUGH FOR THEM
NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU
YOU KNOW IT’S NEVER ENOUGH, NO MATTER WHAT SHE MIGHT DO
SHE TRIES SO HARD, BUT IT’S NEVER ENOUGH
AND SHE CRIES AND SHE CRIES, BUT IT’S JUST NOT ENOUGH
(SOLO)
NOT ENOUGH FOR THEM
NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU
YOU KNOW IT’S NEVER ENOUGH, NO MATTER WHAT SHE MIGHT DO
SHE TRIES SO HARD, BUT IT’S NEVER ENOUGH
AND SHE CRIES AND SHE CRIES, BUT IT’S JUST NOT ENOUGH
SHE CAME OUT OF THIS LIFE WITHOUT A PRETTY FACE
AND ONCE WHERE THERE WERE PRESENTS, THERE’S JUST EMPTY SPACE
IT DIDN’T TAKE HER LONG TO FORGET ALL THAT STUFF
AND THE AMBULANCE IS QUICK, BUT IT’S JUST NOT ENOUGH
NOT ENOUGH FOR THEM
NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU
YOU KNOW IT’S NEVER ENOUGH, NO MATTER WHAT SHE MIGHT DO
SHE TRIES SO HARD, BUT IT’S NEVER ENOUGH
AND SHE CRIES AND SHE CRIES, AND SHE CRIES, AND SHE CRIES
NOT ENOUGH FOR THEM
NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU
YOU KNOW IT’S NEVER ENOUGH, NO MATTER WHAT SHE MIGHT DO
SHE TRIES SO HARD, BUT IT’S NEVER ENOUGH
AND SHE CRIES AND SHE CRIES, BUT IT’S JUST NOT ENOUGH
