He calms me down when I'd rather be out of my mind
He calms me down when I'm not ready to unwind
He'll be my clown when I'd rather be black inside
He'll be my clown with that evil look in his eyes
Oh I know
He can be a thorn in my side
But even so
I just can't get enough
Just can't get enough
He slows me down when I'm happy running out of time
He slows me down, he's an enemy of mine
He runs me down, and as far as I can see
He'll run me down 'til there's nothing left in me
Oh I know
He can be a thorn in my side
But even so
I just can't get enough
Just can't get enough
I can be a monster if I want to be
But he's got me beaten by a landslide
He's just crazy
He calms me down like a tumor inside my heart
But he knows me well
I just can't get enough
Just can't get enough
He calms me down when I'm not ready to unwind
He'll be my clown when I'd rather be black inside
He'll be my clown with that evil look in his eyes
Oh I know
He can be a thorn in my side
But even so
I just can't get enough
Just can't get enough
He slows me down when I'm happy running out of time
He slows me down, he's an enemy of mine
He runs me down, and as far as I can see
He'll run me down 'til there's nothing left in me
Oh I know
He can be a thorn in my side
But even so
I just can't get enough
Just can't get enough
I can be a monster if I want to be
But he's got me beaten by a landslide
He's just crazy
He calms me down like a tumor inside my heart
But he knows me well
I just can't get enough
Just can't get enough

About"Get Enough" is the debut single by American band Ivy, released in 1994 by Seed Records. It was included as the opening track for their first studio album, Realistic (1995). It was composed by band members Dominique Durand, Adam Schlesinger and Andy Chase, and produced by the latter two and Kurt Ralske. The song was conceived while the band were creating material for their first extended play, Lately (1994), a project that Durand was initially reluctant to work on. Its production, along with the rest of Realistic, was inspired by French musicians and exhibits a folk rock and pop sound.
The song was praised by music critics, who enjoyed the production and Durand's French accent and gentle vocals. "Get Enough" was performed live on several occasions, including at least three times in 1995 in California at record shops and music festivals.
"Get Enough" was highlighted by critics due to Durand's vocals and its simple production. Vickie Gilmer and Ira Robbins of Trouser Press were impressed by the singer's vocal delivery on the track. The pair claimed that her "airy, petal-soft lilt and the music's toned-down pop bounce make it forever Ivy". Billboard's Larry Flick reviewed the CD single as part of his "Single Reviews: Rock Tracks" column. He wrote that Durand's "seductive French accent seeps through a suspiciously sugar-sweet delivery", and noted that her delivery comes off "pure as dirt, but cool nonetheless". British newspaper Melody Maker named "Get Enough" a "Single of the Week" in 1994.
