Enough For Love

## Music Video

"**Enough For Love**" is a song performed by American singer Kelela. It serves as the fifth single and fourteenth track for her sophomore studio album, Raven. It was released February 6th, 2023 via Warp Records. To support the release, an music video for "Enough For Love" was released on February 16th, 2023.

"Enough For Love" is a mid-tempo R&B song, with elements of soul, pop, new age, and electro-R&B. "Enough For Love" tells a love story that asks her partner if they're tough enough to stay in a relationship with Kelela all for the love and affection, along with all the issues and problems that would occur throughout their relationship.

Slant Magazine had stated this about the song: "On the shifty “Enough for Love,” Kelela asks a partner if they’re “tough enough for love,” underscoring the occasionally grueling demands of giving yourself over to a relationship."

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Stop so we can talk about it

Tell me what's goin' on with you, baby?

Let go, even though you doubt it

Tell me, are you keepin' up with your wounds?

Can you love through it, baby?

**[Pre-Chorus]**

I don't really know why you walk away

Never really know what you got to say

Are you even there if you're half the way?

And I don't really know why we escalate

And I don't really know why you're testin' me

Yeah, you come around, but you never stay

**[Chorus]**

'Cause you forgot about us

But you're not alone, not alone

Are you tough enough for love?

Give it up

But you forgot about us

No, you're not alone, not alone

Are you tough enough for love?

You're tough enough, not enough for love

**[Post-Chorus]**

It's not enough for love

You're enough for love

**[Verse 2]**

It's a new day and I know you're tryin'

Lookin' but it's right in front of you, baby

Stayed on even though they're clownin'

Tell me, are you keepin' up with your wounds?

Can you love through it, baby?

**[Pre-Chorus]**

I don't really know why you walk away

Never really know what you got to say

Are you even there if you're half the way?

And I don't really know why we escalate

And I don't really know why you're testin' me

Yeah, you come around, but you never stay

**[Chorus]**

'Cause you forgot about us

You're not alone, not alone

Are you tough enough for love?

Give it up

You forgot about us

You're not alone, not alone

Are you tough enough for love?

I need a tougher love

**[Bridge]**

We rode into the night

Gettin' stronger and stronger

I'm holdin' on so tight

But you can't free-ride for longer

**[Chorus]**

So don't forget about us

You're not alone, not alone

Are you tough enough for love?

Give it up

Don't forget about us

Gotta toughen up for love

I need a tougher love

**[Outro]**

You're enough for love

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Mmm
