Sometimes too much fuel can smother up the fire

And sometimes too much love can strangle that desire

I held her too tight till the feeling was gone

Oh I wish I'd known enough about love to leave love enough alone



Sometimes a single tear can speak a tousand lies

And sometimes it's hard to tell the foolish from the wise

Someone who could be so right could also be so wrong

Oh I wish I'd known enough about love to leave love enough alone



When you cast too bigger shadow love can grow enough to show

It's a pity I didn't know enough to know

But it always seems to happen when a brier meets a rose

Oh I wish I'd known enough about love to leave love enough alone

But it always seems to happen...
