Erykah Badu - Next Lifetime (Live) lyrics

Don't go sending me those three dozen roses

Don't you know that just one rose will do

Don't go trying to put diamonds on my fingers

Don't you know that I'm making money too

Don't go throwing those stones outside my window

You don't gotta be calling three times a day

'Cause if you do then when we get together

I'll be biting my lip 'cause there's nothing else left to say

Haven't you heard absence makes the heart grow fonder

Haven't you heard nothing good comes overnight

I'm telling you straight baby, just in case you wonder

It's turning me off, crowding me out its not right

[Chorus]

Less is more

Back it up slow it down let it breathe

Cause you too much of a good thing can be

Bad

See we don't wanna go out like that

Less is more

Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out

If you want me to still be around

Remember

If you wanna be showing your affection

Don't you know a simple kiss will do

So many beautiful ways for love's expression

But I'm sorry to say your way ain't getting through

Haven't you heard a little space makes the heart grow fonder

Haven't you heard nothing good comes overnight

I'm telling you straight baby, just in case you wonder

It's turning me off, crowding me out its not right

[Chorus]

It would be something if I had a chance to be missing you

Too much for taking it's driving me crazy

That's all you do

It needs rearranging

It's so suffocating

That I can't move

You gotta take two steps back

Believe what they say

It's true

[Chorus]

Gimme a chance to miss you

Boy I don't mean to diss you, but

I tell you I need some space and still you call me up three times a day

You know, baby you crowding me out

Haven't you heard less is more

Less is more
