Kingston Trio - Those Who Are Wise lyrics

(Hague / Shear / Somerville)

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...
