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
