If I was a dif-ferent man,
|
If I had blood in my-ay-ay-ay,eyes -
|
I could have read of your heart,
|
I could have read of your eyes -
|
But now I'm lonely as that,
|
I put up a fi-i-i-i-ight -
|
So pick up your battering ram -
|
Lo-o-o-o-o-ove, I wanna see it:
|
|
[chorus]
|
There's too much riding on that,
|
There's too much, too much, too much love.
|
There's too much riding on that,
|
There's too much, too much, too much love.
|
There's too much riding on that,
|
There's too much, too much, too much love.
|
There's too much riding on that anyway-eyay-ay
|
|
And maybe I talk too fast,
|
Maybe I talk too-o mu-u-uch -
|
Give me the sensitive laugh,
|
Or give me the sensiti-ive to-o-ouch -
|
Even if I could have kissed,
|
Even if I couldn't apply,
|
I'm so sorry I tried lo-o-o-o-o-ove, I wanna see it -
|
|
[chorus]
|
[words in background during this chorus:]
|
Too much love
|
Too much lo-o-o-ove
|
Too much love
|
Too much lo-o-o-ove
|
Too much love
|
Too much lo-o-o-ove
|
Too much love
|
Too much love
|
[background, also:] 'love' faintly
|
|
[chorus again, in the same way as above]
|
|
[this is background, at x2 Sufjan comes in with 'There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that' x4]
|
Na, na na, na, na, na, na [x6]
|
Meanwhile, another singer is singing:
|
'La-aaia-a-aaia' [x6]
|
|
[music interlude]
|
|
[there's background singers singing 'La' over and over in descending keys a few beats before singing, and it continues until a few beats before he ends]
|
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that,
|
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that,
|
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that,
|
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that word ...
|
|
[music interlude]
|
|
[this is semi-in the background]
|
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that,
|
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that,
|
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that,
|
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that,
|
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that,
|
There's too much riding on that, there's too much riding on that.
