The Who - A Little Is Enough lyrics

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's so incredible

Your body so edible

You give me an overdose of love

Just a little is a enough

I'm 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

This 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 in 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
