[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]

We'll be right back.
