about

Believe it or not, this came to me in a dream. In the dream, it was played by The B-52's at a party in my back yard. Go figure.

lyrics

Love ain’t enough - you got to give more
Love ain’t enough - rest assured
It takes compassion, respect
& freedom from neglect
It takes forgiveness and trust
to keep away the rust - Love ain’t enough

Love ain’t enough - you got to reach higher
Love ain’t enough - to keep the fire
It takes involvement and care
or things will go nowhere
It takes patience and time
to make the perfect rhyme - Love ain’t enough

We sit here starin at four walls in a trance
We dug our heels in, now we’ve taken our stance
Open up, honey, won’t you let me in
Let’s meet half way, and maybe then we can begin

Love ain’t enough - you’ve got to hear me out
Love ain’t enough - to be free from doubt
It takes mutual concern
to stop the crash and burn
It takes a little sacrifice
to chip away the ice - Love ain’t enough

We both have our own excuses ready made
We built a wall between us, and we start to fade
Open up, honey, my heart’s an open book
Let’s meet half way and maybe take another look
