"Good Enough"

够好

If I woke up late
Couldn't get out of bed
If I bought you a caf?nbsp;latte instead
If I lied when I said 32 inches was the size of my waist
And if I admit every once in a while
Even though I dig alternative style
Occasionally I can be caught dancin' to Britney
And can I confess
That art house doesn't turn me on
But I like every single thing that Speilberg's done (Except A.I.)

Where I grew up the rent was cheap
But we always had enough to eat
Didn't have fancy clothes
I never really cared coz there were shoes on my toes
And motherly love
I knew it like the back of my hand
She always had a way to make me understand

Coz I don't know which way this road is gonna turn
But I know it's gonna be fine
But there are some days
No matter how much I've learned that the road gets tough
And I don't feel good enough
But if you're giving me some of that loving
Could you pass some over
Let me cry on your shoulder and tell me baby
I could be good enough

If I lost my job
And my hair fell out
If I made no sense
And I scream and shout
Would you laugh at me?
Never take a word I say seriously
And if I'm out in the cold waiting in the back of the line
Too afraid to drop my name for fear of decline

Could you tell me I'm good enough?
Could I be good enough?
If the going got worse and the worse got rough
The days became endless and harder than tough
I'd be good enough
Better than best would be simply to be good enough
If everything I give doesn't seem like a lot
If it's all that I've got
Baby tell me that could be good enough

I need to know that I could be good enough
Because everybody wants to feel good enough


如果我醒晚了
起不了床
如果我改成给你买一杯拿铁咖啡
如果我撒谎说我的腰围是32英寸
如果我时不时地承认
我喜欢的其实是另类的风格
偶尔我会被撞见随布莱妮的乐曲跳舞
是否我能坦白
我对艺术剧院没有兴趣
但我喜欢斯皮尔伯格的任何一部作品（除了《人工智能》）

我从小长大的地方租金很便宜
但我们总能填饱肚子
没有花哨的衣服
但我真的从未介意，因为我的脚上有鞋穿
我还拥有妈妈的爱
我对此了如指掌
因为她总有办法让我知道

因为我不知道这条路会转向哪里
但我知道一切会好的
但有些时候
尽管我很清楚道路会变得艰难
我感觉还是不够好
但如果你会给予我那一点爱
能否给我一些
让我在你的肩头哭泣，告诉我
我可以足够好

如果我失去工作
头发脱落
如果我没有理智
尖声喊叫
你会嘲笑我吗？
别把我说的话当真
如果我孤零零地在队伍的末尾等候
因害怕被拒绝而不敢说出我的名字

你能不能告诉我，我足够好？
我能足够好吗？
如果事情越来越糟，甚至到了艰难的地步
日子没有尽头，比艰难更难忍受
我将足够好
比最好更好的，就是足够好
如果我给的一切看起来并不多
如果那是我所有的一切
宝贝告诉我，我能足够好

我需要知道我能足够好
因为每个人都想要感觉足够地好

析

在Darren Hayes 还是Savage Garden乐队主唱的时候，我们还记不清他名字的拼写，但随着他离开这个著名的两人组合开始独自发展，这个好声音越来越多地单独出现在耳边。

1972年出生在澳大利亚布里斯班的Darren Hayes,全名Darren Stanley Hayes。他在大学学过新闻、戏剧和教育，曾经担任过八个月学前教育的老师，也在唱片店工作过。偶然的机会他看到了Daniel Jones寻找乐队主唱的启事，两人就这样开始了合作。后来乐队的名字被定为Savage Garden，来自于Darren喜欢的Anne Rice的恐怖小说。后来Savage Garden发行了Savage Garden、Affirmation 等专辑，成为澳大利亚的国宝级乐队。然而在他们正处于巅峰之际，却决定各自开始新的音乐征途。2002年Darren发行Spin专辑，他在CCTV-MTV音乐盛典颁奖礼上演唱了其中的"Insatiable"。

每个人都需要感觉足够好，即使他（她）身材普通、出身平凡、品味不够高雅、甚至有时缺乏理智。其实不必追求所谓的最好，因为比最好更好的就是"够好"，这样就行了。人们往往缺乏的不是悉心的保护, 而是肯定和鼓励。
