I did my best to keep her around
Guess I didn't do enough
Course I knew she would let me down
I just wished she wouldn't rush
Cause I gave her all of my love
I held her hand
I learned to dance
And took her out to places I couldn't afford
I made her laugh
Got home fast
To hear all about her day and get the door
But despite my best efforts
I'm not enough for her
I wonder what she was looking for
Or why she even came my way
Maybe I was just an open door
Just a place for her to stay
Oh but I loved her anyway
I held her tight, worked overtime
I'd bring her home some flowers just for being her
I kept her safe, even gave her her space
Not a second that I didn't put her first
But despite my best efforts
I'm still not enough for her
I impressed her friends
They all seemed convinced
But what's it matter anyway
Cause it's her own heart
She can't force a spark
But she could slow down so that I could say
Stay, stay
Just one more chance and one more dance
And one more date to somewhere I cannot afford
I love your laugh, please don't go so fast
Just tell me what it is and I'll do more
But it probably wouldn't work
No matter how well I'm rehearsed
Because despite my best efforts
I'm still not enough for her
