Good Enough Lyrics by Jay Sean

My Own Way (Deluxe)

2008

[Intro]
Ooh
Oo-oo-ooh

[Verse 1]
I've got my mothers' skin, I've got my fathers' eyes
It's something that I can't deny
It's nothing that I wanna hide
And even though my roots come from the other side
I didn't think they would mind
Because I heard that love was blind (Ooh)
But they can't understand when it comes to me and you
'Cause I don't fit their descriptions (Ooh)
No, tell me how to change traditions
When there's all of them and one of me

[Chorus]
How can I change a million minds in this lifetime?
What is it I have to do?
If I erase my history, what defines me?
If I let them change my truth, would I be good enough for you? Oh, yeah

[Verse 2]
I wish they looked at me and they could see beyond
Everything they think I am
Pedigree don't make a man
Don't have to dig too deep to see I'm just like you
What is it they want from me?
Tell me what more can I prove?
Why?
So many can't understand when it comes you and I
I don't fit in their descriptions, though I try
Gotta change those old traditions
When it's all of them and one of me (Oh)

[Chorus]
How can I change a million minds in this lifetime?
(Tell me) What is it I have to do?
If I erase my history (If I), what defines me? (Erase)
If I let them (Ooh, yeah) change my truth, would I be good enough (Ooh) for you?

[Post-Chorus]
I can't lie, I can't lie, I can't hide (I can't hide it)
Let them change all I knew
Would I be good enough for you?
I can't lie, I can't lie, I can't hide (For you, yeah)
Let them change all I knew

[Bridge]
Mm-mm-mm, we pretend we have open minds (Open minds)
Yet, we judge so fast (Tell me why)
To live out my future, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
I must surrender my past

[Chorus]
How can I change a million minds in this lifetime? (Ooh; baby, in this lifetime)
What is it I have to do? (Uh)
If I erase my history, what defines me? (If I erase my truth, would that be good for you?)
If I let them change my truth (For you, 'cause I)
How can I change a million minds in this lifetime? (Oh)
(Tell me what I) What is it I have to do? (Oh, tell me how could I)
If I erase my history, what defines me? (Erase my history)
If I let them change my truth (Oh)
Would I be good enough for you?
Mm, tell me
Would I be good enough for you? (For you)
Would I be good enough for you?

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Would I be good enough?
No, no, no, no, no
