Good Enough

Darren Hayes

If I woke up late 
Couldn’t get out of bed 
If I bought you a café latte instead 
If I lied when I said 32 inches was the size of my waist 
And if I admit every once in a while 
Even though I dig alternative style
Occasionally I can be caught dancin’ to Brittany 
And can I confess 
That art house doesn’t turn me on
But I like every single thing that Speilberg’s done (Except A.I.)
 
Could I be good enough 
Could I be good enough 
If the going got worse and the worse got rough 
The days became endless and harder than tough 
I’d be good enough 
Better than best would be simply to be good enough 
If everything I give doesn’t seem like a lot 
If it’s all that I got 
Baby tell that could be good enough
 
Where I grew up 
The rent was cheap 
But we always had enough to eat Didn’t have fancy clothes 
I never really cared coz there were shoes on my toes 
And motherly love 
I knew it like the back of my hand
She always had a way to make me understand 

I could be good enough 
I could be good enough 
If the going got worse and the worse got rough 
The days became endless and harder than tough 
I’d be good enough 
Better than best would be simply to be good enough 
If everything I give doesn’t seem like a lot 
If it’s all that I got 
Baby tell me that could be good enough
 
Coz I don’t know which way this road is gonna turn 
But I know it’s gonna be fine 
But there are some days no matter how much I’ve learned 
That the road gets tough 
And I don’t feel good enough 
But if you’re giving me some of that loving 
Could you pass some over 
Let me cry on your shoulder and tell me baby 
I could be good enough
 
If I lost my job 
And my hair fell out 
If I made no sense 
And I scream and shout 
Would you laugh at me? 
Never take a word I say seriously And if I’m out in the cold 
Waiting in the back of the line 
Too afraid to drop my name for fear of decline
 
Could you tell me I’m good enough? Could I be good enough? 
If the going got worse and the worse got rough 
The days became endless and harder than tough 
I’d be good enough 
Better than best would be simply to be good enough 
If everything I give doesn’t seem like a lot 
If it’s all that I’ve got 
Baby tell me that could be good enough
 
I need to know that I could be good enough 
Because everybody wants to feel good enough 
Show me baby 
Tell me 
Come on a prove it baby 
Give it to me
