"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 . . . "

Please help 'cuz this is gonna drive me crazy til I find out. Help!

Ok. I think I've figured out that the song is "Why Isn't That Enough". But can someone tell me anything about the song? As far as the lyrics go, if someone can email me and let me know where to find them or something I would be really happy. It's too much to post here.

Yes, you are correct on the title. I'm looking for the lyrics online now, I'll let you know if I find them. (Of course you could always buy the album from Amazon UK, all the lyrics are there.) I'll keep looking and post when I find them

OK, here it is, direct from the German fanclub site http://www.meatloaf-fanclub.de/:

Why Isn't That Enough

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

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

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

Hope this helps!

Do you have the album yet? The lyrics are in there. This song was written by Jo Davidson, http://www.jodavidson.com

Lady B · 01 Jun 2003, 08:28

I knew if I posted someone would come through for me. Thanks Sherrie & Shane. I've held off on buying the CD because I would like to get it here in the US. But with this song and all that I keep hearing it gets harder and harder to stick with my vow to wait. And with him being in Denver in a month & a half . . .

I almost broke down reading the rest of the lyrics. It fits the ending of a 13 1/2 year relationship that I have to deal with and that's why it hit home. It fit so perfectly and I need the strength to get through it and learn to let go. One more time I need his music to get me through.

Ok, darn it! I'm ordering that silly CD this next week. I can't wait til August!!!

Bren .. you can buy another one when it's released in the US :) There may be different additions/edits .. for example the UK album came with the additional CD with the videos .. now there's no guarantee that will be included in the US CD .. it wasn't with the one released in mainland Europe for eg ..

I'm just glad I bought the DIST single released in Germany as it has the delicious Decadent Wish on it

I can't vouch for the rest of mainland Europe Caryl but you can certainly buy "CHSIB" in Germany either with or without the bonus CD with the videos. :)

Would be great to think the US version could have different additions/edits. Maybe it will have a different colour sleeve too!

CarylB · 01 Jun 2003, 14:06

But isn't that what they describe as the "UK Import" Diane? I didn't think the red cover initial release had both discs .. or perhaps my memory is failing .. and someone better find Meat's Easter eggs and mine

The red cover version I got from Germany (before the UK release) has both discs. The only difference is that it doesn't have the bonus "Bat Out Of Hell" track on CD 1. There is also another German version with both discs which has the bonus "BOOH" track and also "Took The Words" on CD 1.

Germany, as far as I know, is also the only country so far to have a vinyl release of the album. :)

Don't 'get' that either, thought it was because I am Dutch (and stupid sometimes, a lot of times today!)

I did read at the Dutch forum someone bought CHSIB on vinyl in Holland, but that could have been imported from Germany.

One of Meat's recent running gags was that he was old enough to hide his own Easter eggs :)

It's a never ending attack
Who's got my Easter eggs
I want the damn things BACK
It seems they're slipping through the cracks
I hid my Easter eggs
And now I want them BACK!!

Testify · 02 Jun 2003, 20:47

oooohhhhh right ok.

Think maybe your right Diane i asked my local independant record store about a UK vinyl they got back to me yesterday, there are no plans for a vinyl release in the UK.
