How Much More Can I Take Songtext
von Ian Hunter / Mick Ronson

You′re breakin' my heart
Stealin′ my thunder
How much more can I take
You're draggin' me down
Holdin′ me under
How much more can I take

How much more can I take
Won′t somebody break
News to you gently
I sing, you fill my eyes
But you don't fill the hunger
How much more can I take

Well, now I see your face
Everywhere, everyplace
How much more can I take
You′re there in my night
You're there in my morning sunlight
How much more can I take


How much more can I take
I wish that I could make
Your mind up for you
I sing, you fill my eyes
But you don′t fill the hunger
How much more can I

How much more can I take
Won't somebody help me
I′m naked as the day I was born
These clothes have a way
Of changin' what I'm feelin′
I try and I try but I can′t get 'em on

I sit here alone
Wait by the telephone line
How much more can I take
Well, I′m jealous as hell
Mixed up 'n′ mean as well
How much more can I take

How much more can I take
I know she'd like to break
Those stones over my body
I sing, you fill my eyes
But you don′t fill the hunger
How much more can I take


I say, you fill my eyes
But you don't fill the hunger
How much more can I take
