A Little Is Enough Lyrics - Singles - Townshend Pete

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 is so incredible 

Your body so edible 

You give me an overdose of love 

Just a little is enough 

I'm a 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 

The 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 on 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
