Too Much Of A Good Thing - Lyrics by Jimmy Somerville


Lyrics

(hague / shear / somerville)

Too much of a good thing baby
Day in and day out
Lose the feel, forget what the real
Life is all about

If you don't get the picture
It's too big for your eyes
Soon comes fate when it's too late
And cuts you down to size

You've gotta tighten up the slack
You don't understand
You won't see your life
Slip out of your hands
From too much of a good thing

It's too much, hanging out all night and
Too much, sleeping in the bed
Too much, believing that the truth is
Something that somebody said, i go
Too much, taking it the easy way
Too much, going to your head
Too much, slipping down day to day
Too much of a good thing,
Too much of a good thing

You don't know about freedom
'till the day you learn
You can't play or give it away
Cause it's go to be earned

You've gotta tighten up the slack
You don't understand
You won't see your life
Slip out of your hands
From too much of a good thing

It's too much, hanging out all night and
Too much, sleeping in the bed
Too much, believing that the truth is
Something that somebody said, i go
Too much, taking it the easy way
Too much, going to your head
Too much, slipping down day to day
Too much of a good thing,
Too much of a good thing

And i'm waiting here
Sick and tired of explaining how
The change in you occurred
Too much of a good thing came
And took the babe you were

It's too much, hanging out all night
And...
