More Than You Can Chew Lyrics - Singles - Horslips

People say you're dressed to kill 

You're not a girl to come on slow 

Once you get the bite between your teeth 

You don't feel like letting go 

But before you hit off 

Let me say you've bit off 

More than you can chew 

I recall just how you laughed 

And you tried to make a fool of me 

How you thought you could get away 

Without me knowing is hard to see 

Though things may look doubtful 

You've got yourself a mouthful 

More than you can chew 

You can give me back my pride 

And I will trade you all that's due 

'Cause like a spider, I'm creeping back 

Gonna spin my web all over you 

And if you take it in haste 

You're gonna waste 

Aah, you can't taste 

More than you can chew
