[swaying R&B music]

[singing] - Oh-oh

Oh, Lord

Oh, oh

Come on, y'all

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

Hey

Feels like I walk 5,000 miles

And didn't even come close

Feels like I try to make you smile

But you don't even care, no

Ooh-ooh, yeah

I'll never be big enough to pay your dues

But I keep trying

You just keep making me jump through hoops

What do I got to do?

all: I just want you to look at me

- And see that I can be worth your love

all: I just want you to look at me

- See that I can be

Good enough, good enough

all: Good enough

- See that I can be, yeah

all: Good enough, good enough

Good enough

- Oh

I try to show you that I'm strong

Why do I even bother?

Uh, 'cause it's the same old damn song

You call yourself a father

No

Like I'm reaching for the stars

But heaven isn't letting me

I said I wish that I had longer arms

But I know that that will never be

Never be

I'll never be big enough to pay your dues

But I keep trying

You just keep making me jump through hoops

What do I got to do?

all: I just want you to look at me

- And see that I can be worth your love

all: I just want you to look at me

- And see that I can be

all: Good enough - Good enough

all: Good enough

- Good enough all: Good enough

- See that I can be, yeah

all: Good enough, good enough

- Good enough, come on, y'all

Good enough

I'm standing right here waiting for you

Here I am

all: Look at me

- I'm looking for your acceptance

Do you give a damn?

all: Look at me

- See that it doesn't matter what you think

I'm still a man

all: Look at me

- Open up your eyes

Can't you see

That I'm good enough?

all: I just want you to look at me

- Look at me

Yeah

all: I just want you to look at me

- See that I can be

Whoo

all: Good enough - Hey

all: Good enough, good enough

I just want to be, yeah

- Good enough, good enough

Good enough

all: Good enough

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]
