It really hurts when we loose the ones, we love to someone else. It hurts even more when we tried our best to win their love and affection, yet end up getting rejected. When all that we can offer are our sincere feelings, coupled with a few romantic gestures just so we can their attention. To add insult to injury, it gets bad when we loose to that special someone to those with a lot of cash, a fancy car and a lot of expensive toys. You find yourself asking, then pleading why did you choose that person? The answer is simple but devastating: It's not enough, just like Corey Hart's song "It's Not Enough For You".
The video shows him as an average teen on the streets and to see his girl with another guy, hurts him alot because he can gives things to her that he can't. He sings about all the things that he could do for her which are all romantic poems and fantasies that one would usually recite to how deep his love is like catching the stars or race from one point to another and so on. Sadly, he ends up loosing the girl to some rich guy who can not only say romantic lines, but also provides her with material satisfaction. The hurt deepens when she avoids him and he sees her dating that rich dude in a posh restaurant. The end of the video sees him confronting the girl but has no clear conclusion, but given the theme of the song he probably lost her in the end.
One thing I can relate with this song is that a lot of it is real and I admit I have my fair share of kind of rejection. It's a tough thing to get over because you and that person were so close then, suddenly, you become a stranger to that person. As if the floor vanished from under your feet and your drops out of your chest like and explodes like a water balloon the floor. In the end, you just have to come to terms with it and move on. Like the song said, it's just aint enough for them.
