Lyrics Pete Townshend – A Little Is Enough

They say that love often passes in a second
And you can never catch it up
So I’m hanging onto you as though eternity beckoned
But it’s clear that the match is rough

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 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 mellowin’
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

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’s so edible
You give me an overdose of love
A little is enough
