Lyrics

Never Enough
Dave Nachmanoff/Al Stewart

I remember in college she was freckled and demure
Quick to say she's sorry, always unsure
Now she travels the globe promoting her books
They just gave her a MacArthur, but she worries 'bout her looks

CHORUS:

It’s never, it’s never, it’s never enough
No, noone can ever get enough love
I swear to you by the stars up above
That noone can ever get enough love
No no noone can ever get enough love

She’s reading a chapter on her misspent youth
An imaginary past, playing with the truth
Standing by the lectern, looking kind of sly
Pausing for the laughter, spinning out a lie

(CHORUS)

Bridge:

She says, “big full moon hanging overhead
Sometimes I wish I was someone else instead
But I think how lonely my life could be
If there weren’t so many people looking out for me”

Last time I saw her she was headed to Japan
To make the people the people love her
Just because she can
Who can predict how their life will unfold?
Is she digging for love, or for literary gold?

(CHORUS)
