Less Is More Songtext

von Joss Stone

Don't go sending me those three-dozen roses
Don't you know that just one rose will do?
Don't go trying to put diamonds on my fingers
Don't you know that I'm making money too?

Don't go throwing those stones outside my window
You don't gotta be calling three times a day
'Cause if you do, then when we get together
I'll be biting my lip 'cause there's nothing else left to say

Haven't you heard absence makes the heart grow fonder?
Haven't you heard nothing good comes overnight?
I'm telling you straight, baby, just in case you wonder
It's turning me off, crowding me out, it's not right

(Chorus:)
Less is more
Back it up, slow it down, let it breathe
'Cause too much of a good thing can be bad
See, we don't wanna go out like that
Less is more
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out
If you want me to still be around
Remember

If you wanna be showing your affection
Don't you know, a simple kiss will do?
So many beautiful ways for love's expression
But I'm sorry to say your way ain't getting through

Haven't you heard a little space makes the heart grow fonder?
Haven't you heard nothing good comes overnight?
I'm telling you straight, baby, just in case you wonder
It's turning me off, crowding me out, it's not right

(Chorus)

It would be something if I had a chance to be missing you
Too much for taking, it's driving me crazy
That's all you do
It needs rerranging
It's so suffocating
That I can't move
You gotta take two steps back
Believe what they say
It's true

(Chorus)

Gimme a chance to miss you
Boy, I don't mean to diss you
But I tell you I need some space
And still you call me up three times a day
You know, baby, you're crowding me out
Haven't you heard less is more?

Less is more
