They say that love often passes in a second, and
G(D)          D        A             D
You can never catch it up, so I'm

Hanging on to you as though eternity beckoned, but it's
Em7
Clear that the match is rough

Common-sense will tell me not to try and continue, but I'm
A7(sus4)                     A7
After a piece of that diamond in you, So

Keep an eye open, My

Spirit ain't broken, Your
G
Love's so incredible, Your
A7(sus4)
Body's so edible, You 
A7(sus4)     A7   
Give me an overdose of love,

But just a little is enough.
                     
I'm like a connoseiur 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 to have's a little time with you, A

Smile sets me reeling, A
Kiss feels like stealing, Your
Love is like heroin, This
Addict is mellowing,
I can't pretend that I'm tough,
When just a little is enough.

 INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:
Dm / / / C(no 3rd) | Dm [etc, repeated ad infinitum]

Just like a sailor heading into the sea, There's a
Gale blowing in my face, The
High wind scares 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, and I don't
Care if the ocean gets rough, 
'Cause just a little is enough.

Common-sense will tell me not to try and continue, but I'm
After a piece of that diamond in you, So
Keep an eye open, My
Spirit ain't broken, Your
Love's so incredible, Your
Body's so edible, You 
Give me an overdose of love,
But just a little is enough.
