don't go sending me those three-dozen roses
don't you know that just one rose will do?
Don't go tryin' to put diamands on my fingers
don't you know that i'm makin' money too?
Don't go throwin' thones stones outside my window
you don't gotta be callin' three times a day
'cause if you do, then when we get together
i'll be bitin' my lip, cause there's nothin' else left to say
haven't you heard absence makes the heart grow fonder?
haven't you heard nothin' good comes overnight?
i'm tellin' you straight, baby, just in case you wonder
it's turnin' me off, crowdin' me out, it's not right
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 showin' 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 gettin' through
haven't you heard a little space makes the heart grow fonder?
haven't you heard nothin' good comes overnight?
i'm tellin' you straight, baby, just in case you wonder
it's turning me off, crowding me out, it's not right
(chorus)
it would be somethin' if i had a chance to be missin' you
too much for takin', it's driving me crazy
thats all you do
it needs rearranging
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 dis you
but i tell you i need some space
and still you call me up three times a day
you know, baby, you're crowdin' me out
haven't you heard less is more
less is more
