Isn’t That Enough?
[JACK]
She’s very pretty
She’s very smart
She’s very funny
She went to Vassar
She‘s got a cat and no tattoos
She’s not a smoker, she’s not a snob
She loves her family and her job
Isn’t that enough?

She likes my cooking…
At least she tries
She thinks I’m funny
When I get crazy, she never cries
We work things through
And she inspires me like no one does
She makes me better than I was
Isn’t that enough, for you?

Let’s face it, I don’t know when
I’ll get that lucky again
She isn’t you mom, but then
Who could be?
I was a moron, I was a hack
And if she’d just take me back
That would be enough, for me
[MAHI, spoken]
Wonderful Jack!
I betcha’ll get a good result!

[JACK, spoken]
She’s not even listening

[BEA, spoken]
Of course I’m listening!
I’ve never heard you talk to much

[JACK]
You left a long time ago
I was a boy then, you know
And Betsy helped me to grow, hopefully
I’ve turned the corner, I’m off the fence
She makes my whole world make sense
And mama, that’s enough
Mama, that’s enough, for me
