Oh love

What is it that you like in her?
Is it her luscious locks of hair, that I don't have
Or, is it her kohl-lined eyes that I so despise?
Oh love, why am I not enough?

What part of her drew you in?
Is it her spontaneous laughter that I can never possess
Or, is it her seeming nonchalance that I'll never have?
Oh love, why am I not enough?

What part of her left you speechless?
Is it her high cheekbones, my chubby ones could never match
Or, is it her petite structure I can never hope to have?
Oh love, why am I not enough?

What is it in her that enthralled you?
Is it her smile that's much more beautiful than mine will ever be
Or, is it her tears that matters more than mine ever did?
Oh love, why am I not enough?

What spell has she cast upon you?
Is it the way her smile makes you happy
Or is it the way she outshines me in your eyes?
Oh love, why am I not enough?

Your eyes convinced me that I'm all you needed,
And I've been told eyes don't lie...
But, my love, why were yours an exception?
Why didn't you ever tell me that I'll never be enough...?

Answer me...
Answer me, my love...
