Is That Too Much?

I've quit you before, tried to stay away
something always draws me back
like an insect in a web that just gets stuck
here I am, back once again

can you give me a hug, is that too much?
can you kiss me long, is that pushing it?
can you look at me like I'm all you want?
hey there baby, can you loan me some love?

I remember way back, how it all started out
I thought we were on the road to true love
didn't see the warnings, couldn't read the signs
I thought I was yours and you were mine

somehow it just got twisted and bent
soon there was nothing for you to relent
you turned left and I went straight
what we missed is a crying shame

I've quit you before, tried to stay away
something always draws me back
like an insect in a web that just gets stuck
here I am, back once again

can you give me a hug, is that too much?
can you kiss me long, is that pushing it?
can you look at me like I'm all you want?
hey there baby, can you loan me some love?
