Paul Simon
Think Too Much (A)
[Verse 1]
They say that the left side of the brain controls the right
They say that the right side has to work hard all night
Maybe I think too much for my own good
Some people say so, other people say no, no
The fact is you don't think as much as you could
[Verse 2]
I had a childhood that was mercifully brief
I grew up in a state of disbelief
I started to think too much when I was twelve going on thirteen
Me and the girls from St. Augustine
Up in the mezzanine thinking about God, yeah
[Chorus]
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
[Verse 3]
Have you ever experienced a period of grace?
When your brain just takes a seat behind your face
And the world begins the elephant dance
Everything's funny, everyone's sunny
You take out your money and walk down the road
[Verse 4]
That leads me to the girl I love
The girl I'm always thinking of
But maybe I think too much and I ought to just hold her
Stop trying to mold her
Maybe blindfold her and take her away
[Chorus]
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
