Pete Townshend A Little Is Enough
They say that love often passes in a second And you never can catch it up So I'm hanging on to you as though eternity beckoned But it's clear that the match is rough Common sense 'd tell me not to try 'n continue But I'm after a piece of that diamond in you So keep an eye open My spirit ain't broken Your love is so incredible Your body so edible You give me an overdose of love Just a little is enough I'm a connoisseur of champagne cognac The perfume nearly beats the taste I eat an oyster and I feel the contact But more than one would be a waste Some people want an endless line that's true But all I have's a little time with you A smile sets me reeling A kiss feels like stealing Your love is like heroin The addict is mellowing I can't pretend that I'm tough Just a little is enough Just like a sailor heading into the seas There's a gale blowing in my face THe high winds scare me but I need the breeze And I can't head for any other place Life would seem so easy on the other tack But even a hurricane won't turn me back You might be an island On the distant horizon But the little I see Looks like heaven to me I don't care if the ocean gets rough Just a little is enough Common sense 'd tell me not to try and continue But I'm after a piece of that diamond on you So keep an eye open My spirit ain't broken Your love's so incredible Your body so edible You give me an overdose of love A little is enough
