Empire Cast ft. Jussie Smollett - Good Enough Lyrics

I gave you all of me
But it still ain't enough to make you happy
I gave you everything
It still don't measure up, no
It feels like I walked 5 thousand miles
And didn't even come close
Feels like I try to make you smile
But you don't even care, no

I'll never be big enough to pay your dues
But I keep trying
You just keep on making me jump through hoops
What do I got to do?

I just want you to look at me
To see that I can be worth your love
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be
Good enough, good enough
I just wanna be good enough for you baby
Good enough, good enough, yeah
I try to be good enough
I try to be good enough for you baby

I try to show you that I'm strong
Why do I even bother?
'Cause it's the same old damn song
And you call yourself a father
Feels like I'm reaching for the stars
But heaven isn't letting me
I wish that I had longer arms
But I know that I will never be never be

I'll never be big enough to pay your dues
But I keep trying
You just keep on making me jump through hoops
What do I got to do?

I just want you to look at me
To see that I can be worth your love
I just want you to look at me
Wanna be, wanna be
Good enough, good enough
I just wanna be good enough for you baby
Good enough, good enough, yeah

Look at me
I'm standing right here waiting for you, here I am
Look at me
I'm waitin' for your acceptance, do you give a damn?
Look at me
Said it doesn't matter what you think, I'm still a man
Look at me
Open up your eyes, can't you see that I'm good enough

I just want you to look at me
To see that I can be worth your love
I just want you to look at me
To see that I can be so good, good enough
Good enough
So good, enough
Good enough
