I'd like to be in love but love's not good enough Good enough a reason to be in love these days There's too much goin' on, there's too much that's goin' wrong Goin' wrong to be in love these days
Well, the girls in front are on mandrax They're all dancin' in three-quarter time Waitin' for the next band to touch down And buy them a whiskey and lime The boys up the back they're all drinking beer They don't know what to do with their hands They'd like to grab the girl with the mink eyebrows But they're too nervous to make any plans
They like to be in love but love's not good enough Good enough a reason to be in love these days Everyone's got high ideals they know exactly how it feels To be the one to turn the wheels these days
An old sweetheart is cryin' in her vodka Waitin' six months for a smile From a man who's too busy with his new-found fame He's playin' it cool for a while A new lover says come on over here Another wants a date right now For some double talk and cigarettes Before the night turns sour
They'd like to be in love but love's just not enough Not enough to be in love these days There's too much goin' on, there's too much that's goin' wrong Goin' wrong to be in love these days
You said that you wanted me Whenever you were free You handed me your front door key While I analyzed your strategy Offered me some lemon tea Questioned my fidelity Bit my ear and felt my knee While I gave you the third degree
'Cause love's not good enough, love's not good enough Love's not good enough Love's not good enough good enough good enough...
We all want different things But we all want to live like kings We all want the best there is these days Yeah, it's just too tough Yeah, it gets so rough 'Cause love's not good enough these days
