[Listening to Meat Loaf, "Why Isn't That Enough"]
Oh my word... I finally heard Meat Loaf's full version of "Why Isn't That Enough." It's such a beautiful song.. I still remember when Jo Davidson burst into it with such honesty and emotion at The Knitting Factory. This brings back memories. My only regret is not being able to hear Jo's version over and over again. However, some things are better left in the moment.

I can't wait for Jo's next album "The Simply Said Sessions." She confirmed her version of "Why Isn't That Enough" will be on it.

Personally, there isn't a specific answer to whom or what this song means to me. Instead, I imagine the song's questioning is on a universal level of not being able to obtain something despite giving all your effort. I imagine everybody felt this at one point or another.

Lyrics: Courtesy of this website

I don’t know how I can do this
What am I supposed to say?
You have been my dream for so long
Now that dream is slipping away
I don’t want to let you go
It´s only that I know I must
I can´t hardly get the words out
Baby is this the end of us?

You know that I want you
You know that I need you baby
You know that I love you
So why isn’t that enough?

I´ve been sleeping in the daytime
I´ve been weeping at the scene
Wishing you would haunt me
And you would tell me this was all a dream

Wishing you were here beside me
What I would give to hold you tight
But nothing I can do or say
Will change the truth tonight

You know that I want you
You know that I need you baby
You know that I love you
So why isn’t that enough?

If I want you
And I need you
And I love you
And I want that to be enough

Because I want you
And I need you
And I love you
And I want that to be enough

Yes I want you
And I need you
And I love you
And I want that to be enough

(2x)

I don’t want to let you go
It´s only that I know I must
I can hardly get the words out
Baby is this the end of us?

You know that I want you
You know that I need you baby
You know that I love you
So why isn’t that enough?
Why isn’t that enough?
I wish it was enough
