Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough - Patti Smyth & Don Henley

[floirana]

i always loved this song

[dogfacezx3]

No shit here ..........nuff stated ....

[punkie3195]

i listen to this song when i want to remind myself that loving someone can bite u in the ass!

[MrSteveUtah]

Not loving someone has bitten me in the ass and made my life hell.The whole nine years with her was crap,But I put on a big act the whole time and pretended I enjoyed it

I got a woman pregnant almost nine years ago,She got pregnant on pupose.

I stuck with her,Have never been able to stand to loo at her,Never came close to loving her,She was an anchor around my neck the whole time in everyway

[madamfootball]

16 years down the drain. She's got it right - it's just not enough.

[orlandobabe]

I love this song so much, thank you for uploading it. HA I haven't seen that symbol of VH1 in such a long time. Shit it has been a long time.

[MagicPotions08]

i can relate to the song.

[ileeshmach]

sad truth.... love really just ain't enough.... love is such a bitch!

[orlandobabe]

It is a lot of things but can you live without it?

[ileeshmach]

no one cannot live without it... it is the very soul and essence of life... covered under layers of illusion!

thats the journey of life. Love!

[foreveryoung21]

great lyrics--but sad one

[twiggymfd]

To all my friends that are in bad relationships hang in there....

[twiggymfd]

Forgot how much I liked this song...

[apachewindtalker]

Very cool....Thank you!!

[roxyrocks69]

Good Days.

[sgpk13152]

I have loved this song ever since it came out. I never did see this video, very cool.

[U686ST]

Same here.

[sfcmala007]

Simply a wonderful song.

[tateit2me]

Memories =)

[Starlitblond]

great vocals and harmonies..

[indiodormido]

Tremenda balada con mucho sentimiento. Verdadero clásico.

[cleonormamedel]

can anyone tell me how to foget my firs love? i'm not sure if he still loves me too.. but we pronised to each other we will never let go.. should i have to hold on to that promise or i;lll try move on? or should i wait until december thats the time will meet again but for now even text ..we have no communication..but i love him.

[yearn4love]

if he deserves to be waiting for, do it, and try to think rationally! my advice is; sometimes we think we know enough about this person to love him\her,but in fact we only know what love wanted us to know! thats why we all end up in love with somebody else! Good luck>

[whitemolls]

i had that same "bond", but in the end he did walk away after 4yrs...n im still waiting 4 his return half hoprful half knowing to let it go..either way ur 1st true love will stay w u 4 ever but in the end u have enough love to give to some1 else as do they..i dont know if that helped but remember all the good we both shared n let go of the bad dont harbor resentment if the feelings r different then theirs..thats the only way to truely love

[lt1fan94]

U NEVER FORGET. You just cant ever go back to the way it was. Just remember it's almost never the same, time has a way of building thing's up, making the old times seem better than they really were. Move on, just never forget.

[shellerey]

o dear! we are in the same situation. i know how it feels. it sucks really. being in the gray area it not cool. like here im searching for answers. well i hope things will be great for us. tc my friend!

[Barbramajk]

This really touched me. Thank you for sharing. I wish I could tell you how to forget, but I can't forget either and there is no hope for reconciliation.

[kabone44]

Just saw her and Scandal at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk!! She STILL rocks!!! Awesome concert last night!! GREAT SONG!

[missyA1958]

Thanks for posting this, Brilliant Song, and Fantastic Video.

[JAHCSCZ4]

OUCH......What a song !

[dustyshadow500]

can someone tell me if this pain in my heart will ever stop, it just doesn't seem to end. I'm still in love with her but I know its over.

[belziebub]

When one door closes another door will soon open. Maybe yall will work it out but if that is not an option just do as I did last time I got dumped- ice cream and chocolate candy bars work wonders on a broken heart.

[69whiskeygirl]

the truth is...that you don't want to let go of the the hope that you may still have another chance. When you let go, the pain will change because your mind will tell your heart it is ok to let go. Don't worry, time heals everything when we are ready to move on.., I promise.

[cnaek]

hey brother,

It will one day........trust me, I always used to feel so lonely but im healing each n every day................

Time n humor heals all d pain......

[jessdell85]

their voices work so well together!!

[SchiLite]

The song makes ones eyes open to a lot of things. This video tells a tail so similar to mine that it is kind of scary to admit. The heart can hurt so badly and its a pain you have to endure until it is gone. Beautiful song. Thank you

[merkules2001]

You can't go wrong with Don Henley backing you up. MONEY!!!!

[SageSarjay]

Patti Smyth u have an Angelic voice....Thank u!!!!!

[makhaf]

i can not stop admiring this song....

can someone say if it is patti who appears singing in the video

[mwcable1219]

Yes that's her. Check out the band Scandal from the 80's if you want more. She is amazing.

[makhaf]

OH sorry,

u know i did a huge mistake, i confuse her with the patti smith of early 70s..............but it is a very strong song about love.

Thank you

[belziebub]

just type in on google photos of patti smyth. You will know if it is her or not.

[welcomefish10]

Truely love this song makes me think of my x

[evelynbwong]

One of the most beautiful,TRUTHFUL & realistic love songs out there! Patti Smyth & Don Henley have created a dynamite duet!

[eldehierro]

Great song, great message.

[mikeysrose]

Damn, I love Don Henley.

[papacramer]

just listen to the words....

[sitiopunod]

i love this music very much...when i feel down with my stupid love

[restlessbreed10]

patty is my moongoddess i met her in late 94 and she was was at the time the most amazing woman ive ever seen up close a fuckin dollbaby for real i sure envy ole john he truely is a lucky man

[musicplaymusic]

thinking of you maryalice..........

[dinamohum67]

" are there things that you wanted to say??? and do you feel me beside you in your bed, there beside you where I used to lay??? OMG !! do I ever.

[restlessbreed10]

i have an opening lol!!!

[bhart2408]

What a little hottie!

[EdSZiomek]

Wonderful. Brilliant harmonies.

[MrSteveUtah]

What about a mention for Don Henley.

If it was not for Don this song would not get a second look by most,including me

[IdolizeYourseIf]

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much

And it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust

There's a reason why people don't stay where they are

Baby sometimes love just aint enough

Porque a veces solo el amor no es suficiente...

[Badaktor]

Uh...wrong

[EdSZiomek]

Spot on killer crisp harmonies. You have a better example, please? In the last 30 years, I would pay for good answers that beat this tune.

[squarles2]

try little river band, even damn yankees the haromonies are smokin in both these bands but granted don henley and patti smith are hard to beat

[coolwater963]

hey there, i want to add this song on my orkut..but its not getting added..please help me

[EXPOSURE1975]

The singer here is Patty Smyth, not Patti Smith. Don't mix up the two. Patty Smyth was the lead singer of the band "Scandal" with hits like "Goodbye to You" and she is gorgeous...Patti Smith is a mean, ugly chick who sang "Because the Night", and she has the raspy voice of an old cigarette smoker

[goofydog2]

Smyth - Smith - Jones whatever! I'll take her. Her vocals are amazing and to match her up with Don was a magnificant pairing. They both represent their sexes so very well!!! And to think that puke McEnroe gets to wakre to her every morning. Ain't fair...

[jlittle005]

she married to John McKenroe

[goofydog2]

Yeah, ain't that just sick... All I can see is Mac's headband wrapped around his fuzzy head back in 1979...

[Syrfsup67]

i too remember this song,and lol,patti was the bomb..now this song has more meaning cause of the love i found here on the ytube connection.

[alexalfred]

when this song came out i couldnt get enough of it, patti was awesome but the djs were talking about dons history, of which i was familiar with his solo stuff, but i had never heard of the eagle...this song opened a whole new world of music for me...

[imaginetheresno]

3:50 rather poignant !

[KingJamesInc]

My high school sweetheart & I broke up the year this song came out. I couldn't get this song out of my head back then. I love Patty Smyth, she is a real looker in the "Goodbye To You" video!

[sbsuzysb]

ummmmm very nice, on my favs and playlist, very nice

[destinykunot]

Great song.!!!! .Ther's a danger in loving somebody too much and it's sad when u know it's ur hrt u can't trust...... so real.

[lizzybeec]

wow love this song..havent heard it for years...remember it cause of a very special love and the circumstances were not right...did not realise how special it was as i was young and stubborn...but glad i moved on...but hearing things makes me miss him all over again...love to give him a hug and have a chat and a laugh...who knows...ring me....

[adisclyde]

This is the first time I have heard this in a long time and it has lost none of it's power to move me or touch my soul. What a combination of talent this was. Almost all of todays so called stars pale in comparison to these two.

[AFowler1966]

Granted, I'm no Mental Giant, but I had to google the definitions of "licentiousness" and "puerile".

Anyhoo - this song is amazing.

[jigsawpuzzle09]

awesome lyrics n beautifully composed n sung

[asatyricon]

excellent song.. love her voice..

[Redwingnut73]

I hope Rihanna knows that love sometimes ain't enough, there's no way to be happy after that because men dont change unless they are on deaths door

[Redwingnut73]

yeah it was a figment of my imagination when a man slit my face when i tried to stop him! People who think that something deserves what they get from a more powerful being are obviously on the other end and do not want anything to change. sorry but women are not going to take it anymore even though there are still fools out there like Rihanna! If women ruled the world we would be living in a better world, GUARANTEED!

[lss101]

I wish love could conquer all-usually doesn't though

[fullosht]

love this song class acts

[leadchick]

She has been such an incredible inspiration in my life. Great voice, great songwriter, great face.  Thanks for all the lessons...rock on, chick!

[amanjeetindia]

Great...splendid job

[obeach82]

Does anyone know who wrote this song?

[PRican190]

Patty Smyth and Glenn Burtnik. love ths song..

[lookadrunk]

Don Henley

[MrSteveUtah]

fucken idiot,who the stuff is glenn burtnik

[instructme]

Don Henley

[obeach82]

Many thanks...

[gr8lookin]

Thank you!!! I love this song!

[aplatt65]

I know this well before I see your puerile little Bush Smack-down videos, lol. Keep fighting the good fight for feminism! Get back at the man, even though his power is a figment of your imagination.Besides, those philosophical theories, how are they working in the context of America's current overall situation. I do not think I am a freak to point out that some people do not understand the fall out of their promiscuousness and emotional uncertainty on the lives of others.

[aplatt65]

Well if I really thought enough about the contemporary connotations of the word "freak" I might be willing to answer that. With this said, given the implications of such a statement, clearly you're a F*cking democrat.

[rossiabby]

i love this song!!!!!

[aplatt65]

I think that analysis is fundamentally inaccurate. This is not about having another lover, that is just your own subjective analysis stemming most likely from personal confusion or licentiousness. This song is about your heart not being able to trust the one who holds it. It is a sad realization pertaining to love not always being able to conquer all things, as some have so theorized. It is not about the love of some third party. It is about complete love for someone, yet even still...

[jvent68]

licentiousness? Are you a freak?

[pootski123]

OK PEOPLE, IT IS A SONG!!! She has always had a killer voice and this was a song by scandal the band that she fronted as their lead singer and was redone with Don Henley, whom I admire also, I feel that the duo made this song even greater.

[bolnalamo]

I think I'm in that danger now

[PearlescentAngel]

I grew up listening to this song. Don Henley still gives me the chills when he sings his part. I usually end up crying when I hear it, because the reality of the situation depicted is pretty vivid in detail. This is probably the hardest realization anyone could ever come to. Knowing you love someone TOO much and have to let them go...but at the same time you love them and you don't want to but you're tearing each other apart...

[bolnalamo]

Same here this song makes me cry too.I also grew up listening to it. It also reminds me alot about things in my life.

[tamapalagi]

I'm crying.

[rjb1516]

I LOVE THIS SONG!

[hansakalie]

thanks for posting. This song really hits home for me.

[dtk252]

always dug this tune, it is an eloquent defense of the proposition that we come in this world alone and ultimately, thats the way we leave it. we can touch many lives along the way and do and produce great things but we live on our own terms, she straddles the middle perfectly, sadness and beauty co exist and swinging too far to either we find ourselves in over our heads, " theres a danger in loving someone to much and its sad when we know its our heart they can't touch" thats pretty profound

[rjb1516]

Well put, my friend.

[ThePhunckyOne]

The lyrics are too intense for me. I can't work them out. Is Patty the dumper or the dumpee? Does she want him back or does he want her back? I told you I was lost. Love the melody though.

[pig199fly200]

I think she's the Dumper.

[LisaCanAfford]

this song had saved me from ending into the wrong person......... a song for me for the rest of my life

[befz88]

This is a pretty tragic realization if you ever experience it.

[235068]

How special is this tune, gets to parts that sometimes you wanted to forget, but couldn't xxBobbie

[GoofyGoobering]

Precious life...Precious love... I love the video, 'cause I love the song... I just goes straight into my heart......

[asosim]

k de bons souvenirs

[bella869222]

so TRUE...sometimes LOVE JUST AIN'T ENOUGH....I really thought for some reason that it was...Even though my head knew...I wish my HEART KNEW BETTER!!!

[goldpot007]

This song reminds me of four people two have gone two are left but either way i'll never forget any of you

[arimababy]

Daaaaamn, I miss the '90's.. the music then was SO much bettter than h ow it is now. SO MUCH. These are well- written, well-performed artists in their PRIME.

Great song, so much TRUTH in it.

[MrSteveUtah]

your kidding right.

this song is brilliant ,BUT only because it is from "artst" that have been at the top for fouty years,the new ones in the 90's were crap

[phillavery7]

theres a huge difference to loving someone and being 'in love with someone' trust me i know

[donttrustmex33]

I agree. I think she loves him but is not in love with him and is trying to do the right thing by staying in the marriage. And she hopes that her feelings will change. But her heart she can't trust because she knows she wants to be with someone she's "in love with". I can totally relate to this song because you can love someone but in the end its not enough if your not "in love" with them. You never be happy and will feel empty.

[CapBlanca03724]

The words make sense when you have been through a heartbreaking separation, it is so true

[jennaczar]

perfect time for a break up, huh?

right before V-day...

right after a 3 year anniversary...

nothing gets better in time...

whoever came up with that never felt a love like mine and, still, the love of my life's...

[lepfanatic]

smokey..... I have the same problem.....I am on wife #2 but I will always have more love for wife # 1

I needed a 2nd chance with her but sadly she bailed on me ...... I was young and stupid... 2 late now..... 30 years 2 late...

Time does not heal old wounds .....

That saying sucks.... same as "closure"

[smokey7979]

for a long time after my wife split I tried to understand why isn't love enough?

The sad part is I know I'm a good person with a good heart, but don't think I'll ever love again that deeply.

[animekatya]

Until recently I had a guy who offered me great love, eventhough I have had fooled him about certain things, but he is still willing to forgive and forget. But I have my doubts, it's my heart that I can't trust. Now.. he's gone. And the selfish me wanted him to stay.. but I know it's better for him to move on. I do love him.. more than I can ever imagine, but... love isn't always enough.

[godofraw]

i know

[lepfanatic]

Hard to believe this song is from 1992

Man how the years have flown....

[CattherineGrace]

Beautiful song. It is hard to let go. When you are in it alone, you can get through it ding the right thing for yourself. When you have children there is more than yourself to consider. I am very blessed to have harmony in my life, my love.

Prayers to the broken hearts,

Love, Catt CHECK out my song and video I wrote titled Stevie Nicks Angel Angel Aurora on you tube. This is a song that will take you away for a moment. A moment can make a difference in your day,

All my love, Catt

[cyndilovesjeff06]

TY for the post,I agree w/ you the lyrics do really make sense. My ex-husband wanted to hurt me,and still hold on to me. My love for him for 20 years somehow became a danger to me,he hurt me very badly, and I didn't know how to handle it,, it took e a year to realize it just wasn't going to work because he repeatedly continued to remain hurting me, I had to let go, even though I wanted to hold the marriage together.I didn't want to hurt anymore,and it became a danger to me,so I had to let go!

[MERRAWR]

And I feel you beside me in my bed, here beside me where you used to lay.... feb. 1986 is a long time to mourn the loss of love.

[MERRAWR]

this song still makes my heart ache for a love long lost, I guess your heart knows when its real. ouch!

[Alan7997]

Same here.

[PopCulture20]

is this Patti Smith from the 80s rock band, Scandal?

[mikejamesthree]

The very same. Her \name is spelled "Patty Smyth" though.

[dustyshadow500]

Its been over a year now since I was with Sara, I don't know why but my heart still aches all the time, I miss her and I still love her but I know I can never be with her, even in the beginning I knew. Its a terrible burden when you head knows what is right but you heart just feels what it does.

[stillpayingattention]

"And I don't really matter to anyone anymore"  Don't think I ever did.

[johnboycrockett]

u ok mate?

[stillpayingattention]

Yeah, I'm ok. Not a good time now, and it's interesting how some artists have true insight into hearts and souls. Thanks for caring. I shouldn't have posted such a dumb comment anyway.  lol! No worries.

[xpectations01]

Beautiful song,I learn english with patty smyth,,she is my favority singer...I love U.

Eres la mejor,,,dios te bendiga por tu voz.

[Hydrophobia234]

Timeless classic!!!!!

[ncoa123]

best song ever x

[markh8slife]

such a good song and lyrics are good too

1st time ive seen the video to this

but heard the song for years

[celtica99]

Wow, I had forgotten about this song, but it is so good! Beautiful lyrics and they sound good together. Thank you for posting this!

[SithMistressPadme]

i love this song and thankyou

[msashlyjudd8]

I was in love with this song back in high school.

[kennylondon123]

Me too! Don't it jus bring bak the sweetest of memories..Its been decades since i las heard dis song. I'm gonna start cryin now ;-)

[msashlyjudd8]

yea, this year will be my 10 year anniversary since graduating. time has flown by but this song still brings back all the memories.

[eefje14]

Geweldig <3

[KHANSDYN]

THATS TERRIBLE!

[LetsGo6009]

yummy yummy!

[KTChamberlain]

This song reminds me of two things: My parents who are divorced, and a children's story I wrote envolving the heroine's parents.

[kyawwaiyan]

This is a brilliant song, Heard it a few years back whilst travelling with Singapore airlines. It's a type of song you can tolerate internationally. Most songs on the charts are only suited to local village idiots who dont go anywhere outside of the country.

[hellokittybitcheroni]

this song was written by mom. a guy she knew stole it with a bunch of her other poems and songs and stole them all. that song in moulin rouge "someday ill fly away" was one of her poems. fucking sucks. :[

[MrSteveUtah]

You said what

[zzzzzzyyyy]

Mcenroe is well in luck!

[chrisvchn]

yrroschi, you are a FUCKIN freakazoid!!!!!!!!

[MTRCTY1963]

she is just about perfect

[nguyen2nguyen]

and it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust..

[FrankFurter48]

this song is so true....sometimes love just cant save a relationship

[crossbow93]

Don't you hate it when you love someone sooo much but they don't it?

[Deathlandsfan]

Now I lay me down to sleep..... ever heard of it?

[yrroschi]

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard (irrespective of the lyrics). They could be singing about about goats and it would be awesome. However, they get an 'F' because- at the end- it should be "Lie" and not "Lay" (chickens "lay" eggs; people "lie" down). Did they not record a duet album later??

[mikeys12]

People also lay down dik

[IConfuciusSay]

People also lay eggs some suck on em

[volvo500500]

HA~HA~

FUNNY~~

[stephanieezzi]

love this song. this is the last song my dad played before he died!! ii miss him

[41Oiler]

Heard this on the radio today. Odd timing for me.

[chrisvchn]

fuck you jadams110!!!!!!!!!! its none of your fuckin business, so shut your mouth fuckstick

[surfup407]

AWSOME!

[DieHardBeatlesFan]

" Masterpiece "

[moonflower0924]

sometimes love just aint enough is right.

[ludinalemans]

This is the song when I met my wife in Manila Philippines. The song was played all the time in the taxis arround Manila in 1995.

Later when we are married we tried to find the song because it was " our song ". But unfortunately we did not know the artist and the name of the song. When we luckyly find out later we remember the time of our first met.

[jadams110]

really? this doesn't really seem the kind of song i would want at a wedding...sometimes love ain't enough?

[420GoTeam024]

i agree

[tigalile]

I love this song. It has a special meaning for me because it was played at the funeral of my best mate who committed suicide a few years back.

[Damo0886]

I'm not that into rock music but even I like this song!

[Juwalee]

so fuggin beautiful.. And sad. Round the time I was pregos with my first child. Young woman, hard times.

[mariusica7273]

thank you for this music

[myse]

this song is nothing but a genuine feelings... luv it!
