Love Just Ain't Enough Lyrics

You know I once loved a beautiful woman

Let me tell you she looked so fine

She was the queen of all the ladies and she drove a Mercedes

And she drank expensive wine

And she told me that she loved me on an ice cold winter day

But now she's up in Las Vegas and nothing's going to save us

This is what she had to say

She said I appreciate your loving you know but times are getting tough

And if you want to be my honey well you'd better have some money

Because love just ain't enough

Love just ain't enough

Well I also loved another woman

She was a down home Texas queen

She never asked for a dime she said she was mine

She never rode in a limousine

But eventually we parted in a flash flood full of tears

I left her alone

I said you're free to go home to your icebox full of beers

And she walked out of my bedroom with her suitcase full of stuff

Saying get your hand off my throttle I'm headed for the bottle

Because love just ain't enough

Love just ain't enough

Now I'll always be an ancient poet unless time starts to rewind

I tried to refuse it but I'm living for the music and it echoes through my mind

No perfect plastic goddess is gonna change my way of life

You see money and sex are just a voodoo hex

I'm not looking for another wife

And I might be flying off the handle but I'm speaking off the cuff

I gotta play this guitar and follow that star

Because love just ain't enough

Oh no love just ain't enough

Love just ain't enough

I said what is then

You know I once loved a beautiful woman

Let me tell you she looked so fine

She was the queen of all the ladies she drove a Mercedes

She drank expensive wine

And she told me that she loved me on an ice cold winter day

But now she's off in Las Vegas oh nothing's going to save us

This is what she had to say

She said John I appreciate your loving you know but times are getting tough

And you can't be my honey if you don't have the money

Because love just ain't enough

She said love just ain't enough

I said what is then

She said I need diamonds and jewelry gold silver certificates of deposit

Huge tracts of land but love just ain't enough
