Think Too Much (a) Songtext
von Paul Simon

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
Hmmm...


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
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much

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
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
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much


Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much

Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
