Never Get Enough by The Damn Straights Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Them bill collectors, they stay callin', gonna repo any day now
I'm robbin' Peter to pay Paul so I'm in need of his PayPal
I got a broke wife, broke kids, never made it in show biz
I'm puttin' shit up on eBay, when I check back, I got no bids
My debt is a mountain, should've been an accountant
When I try to negotiate, the no's all resounding
I never had shit, never gonna
Men Without Hats, we can dance if we wanna
Blame it on the marijuana
Boss said he gonna terminate me now I feel like Sarah Connor, uh
[Chorus]
I'ma never get enough (What?)
No, I'll nevеr get enough (What?)
I'ma nevеr get enough (What?)
No, I'll never get e—, never get e—
I'ma never get enough (What?)
No, I'll never get enough (What?)
I'ma never get enough (What?)
No, I'll never get e—, never get e—
[Verse 2]
I got one check but I spent two, I got bills to pay, I got rent due
When I went to the restaurant I can't afford shit on that menu
I got a couple kids, they need more clothes
Hand-me-downs for their wardrobes
I drive by all these houses thinkin', "Who the fuck can afford those?"
I had checks, cashed 'em all
Spent that now I got no cash at all
I can't pay my taxes y'all and I can't travel like basketball
I got absolutely no wealth
Absolutely no one to blame but myself
Can't drink Absolut, I gotta order from the absolute bottom of the shelf, uh
[Chorus]
I'ma never get enough (What?)
No, I'll never get enough (What?)
I'ma never get enough (What?)
No, I'll never get e—, never get e—
I'ma never get enough (What?)
No, I'll never get enough (What?)
I'ma never get enough (What?)
No, I'll never get e—, never get e—
[Bridge]
It's DS and we got that heat
Ridin' in the fast lane on a dead end street
Reminiscin' on them days when I still had hope
Steady searchin' for another mechanism to cope
I never ever got no dollars, man, it don't make sense
Starin' at the green grass through a hole in the fence
Day dreamin' of the things that I wish I had
And the decisions that I made that I wish I hadn't
[Verse 3]
I try to invest but my balances are all slippin'
Wanna get shit off my chest but my challenge is I'm not trippin'
Man, I got no drive, no drive, my motivation is zero
Tortoise and the hare, I'm a turtle but the rabbit ain't stop
Too slow in the race, I'm no hero
And yes I got a job but not the right one
All these jobs I got are like one
Play me, I G roll a blunt, light one
Lottery numbers, hope I pick the right one
Only chance is to win big and I'll make the best of this shindig
I'll play the game but it's been rigged, I wanna snap like a thin twig because
[Chorus]
I'ma never get enough (What?)
No, I'll never get enough (What?)
I'ma never get enough (What?)
No, I'll never get e—, never get e—
I'ma never get enough (What?)
No, I'll never get enough (What?)
I'ma never get enough (What?)
No, I'll never get e—, never get e—
I'ma never get enough (What?)
I'ma never get enough (What?)
I'ma never get enough (What?)
I'ma never get e—, never get e—
I'ma never get enough (What?)
I'ma never get enough (What?)
I'ma never get enough (What?)
I'ma never get e—, never get e—
