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...
