這首是《Empire》演唱曲其中一支,由Jussie Smollett飾演的Jamal Lyon演唱,因自己是個Gay導致無法被性別歧視的父親(Lucious Lyon/Terrence Howard飾演)給接納,在演唱這首歌的時候,Jamal Lyon還是個全無野心的男生,一心渴望父親可以接納他的性向且認同他的才華。但父親始終沒有給他一個回應。
[Verse 1]
I gave you all of me
我將我的全部給予了你
But it still ain’t enough to make you happy
但這些仍然不能使你快樂
I gave you everything
我給了你我的一切
It still don’t measure up
但仍然沒有達到你的快樂目標
It feels like I walked 5 thousand miles
這感覺像是我已經走了5000英里的路程
And didn’t even come close
但目地的卻都沒有接近
Feels like I try to make you smile
這感覺像是我試著讓你的嘴角重返笑容
But you don’t even care, no
但是你甚至一點都不在乎,一點都沒有
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll never be big enough to pay your dues
我永遠沒辦法能達成你對我的期望
But i keep trying
但是我會一直嘗試
And you just keep on making me jump through hoops
而你什麼都沒有看見,只叫我繼續為你赴湯蹈火
What do I got to do?
我該怎麼做你才會看見?
[Chorus]
I just want you to look at me
我只是想讓你認真的看著我
And see that I can be what you love
看看我是多麼努力想成為你喜愛的樣子
I just want you to look at me
而我就只希望你能夠看看我
And see that I can be
看我是不是達成你的喜愛的樣子了
Good enough, good enough
但是你都說不夠好,不夠好
Good enough
就是不夠好
And see that i can be
看我是不是達成你的喜愛的樣子了
Good enough, good enough
你覺得不夠完美,不夠完美
Good enough
就是不夠好
[Verse 2]
I try to show you that I’m strong
我試圖告訴你我很堅強
Why do I even bother?
為什麼我甚至不屑跟你說?
Cause it’s the same old damn song
都是因為這他媽的老歌曲
And you call yourself a father
你稱自己為我的父親
Feels like I’m reaching for the stars
讓我感覺自己可以摘到星星
But heaven isn’t letting me
但是上天並不給我這機會
I wish that I had longer arms
我希望我有更長的臂膀
But I know that will never be never be
但是我知道,這根本就是不可能的事情
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll never be big enough to pay your dues
我永遠沒辦法能達成你對我的期望
But i keep trying
但是我會一直嘗試
And you just keep on making me jump through hoops
而你什麼都沒有看見,只叫我繼續為你赴湯蹈火
What do I got to do?
我該怎麼做你才會看見?
[Chorus]
I just want you to look at me
我只是想讓你認真的看著我
And see that I can be what you love

I just want you to look at me
而我就只希望你能夠看看我
And see that I can be
看我是不是達成你的喜愛的樣子了
Good enough, good enough
但是你都說不夠好,不夠好
Good enough
就是不夠好
And see that i can be
看我是不是達成你的喜愛的樣子了
Good enough, good enough
你覺得不夠完美,不夠完美
Good enough
就是不夠好
[Bridge]
Look at me
仔細的看著我
I’m standing right here waiting for you, here I am
我站在這裡等著你,我就在這裡
Look at me
用心的看著我
Lookin’ for your acceptance, do you give a damn?
我再找尋你能接受我的那天,而你根本就不在乎?
Look at me
仔細的看著我
See it doesn’t matter what you think, I’m still a man
看到其實性向並不重要,你想想,我還是原來的我
Look at me
用心的看著我
Open up your eyes, can’t you see that I’m good enough
打開你的心眼,你能不能不要看我不夠好的地方
[Chorus]
I just want you to look at me
我只是想讓你認真的看著我
And see that I can be what you love
看看我是多麼努力想成為你喜愛的樣子
I just want you to look at me
而我就只希望你能夠看看我
And see that I can be
看我是不是達成你的喜愛的樣子了
Good enough, good enough
但是你都說不夠好,不夠好
Good enough
就是不夠好
And see that i can be
看我是不是達成你的喜愛的樣子了
Good enough, good enough
你覺得不夠完美,不夠完美
Good enough
就是不夠好
