About

The singer (Jussie Smollett) is also a character in the show Empire. He plays a gay male, and he has been discredited and mistreated for being gay by his father. This song is for his father to let his father know that he is more than his sexuality – that he is “Good Enough”.

Good Enough Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, oh-oh
Oh

[Verse 1]
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
It feels like I walked five thousand miles
And didn't even come close
It feels like I try to make you smile
But you don't even care, no

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll never be big enough to pay your dues
But I keep trying
And you just keep on making me jump through hoops
What do I gotta do?

[Chorus]
I just want you to look at me
And 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, good enough
And see that I can be, yeah
Good enough (Good enough), good enough (Good enough)
Good enough (Good enough)
Oh, whoa

[Post-Chorus]
(Good enough, I can be good enough)
(Good enough, I can be good enough) That I can be
(Good enough, I can be good enough) Good enough
(Good enough, I can be good enough)

[Verse 2]
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, whoa
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 will never be, never be

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll never be big enough to pay your dues
But I keep trying
And you just keep on making me jump through hoops
What do I gotta do?

[Chorus]
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be worth your love
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be
Good enough (Enough), good enough (Enough)
Good enough
And see that I can be, yeah
Good enough (Good enough), good enough (Good enough)
Good enough

[Bridge]
(Look at me)
I'm standing right here waiting for you, here I am
(Look at me)
Lookin' for your acceptance, do you give a damn?
(Look at me)
See, 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?
(Whoa, whoa)

[Chorus]
I just want you to look at me (Look at me)
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be
Good enough, good enough, good enough
I just wanna be, yeah
Good enough, good enough, good enough
Good enough
