Too Much Tenderness Lyrics - Steve Harley

I know what I mean 'til you ask me 

I know what I want to do with you 

I know what I mean 'til you ask me 

Coming off when you know what I want to do 

And now the only thing for us 

Is quit the questions, finish the fuss 

Don't give up babe and don't despair 

Just give the truth and then 

When it comes to this, when it come to this 

Chorus: you give me too much tenderness 

D'you know what you feel when I ask you 

D'you know what you want to do with me 

D'you know what you see when I show you 

You make everything seem unseemly 

And now the only thing to do 

Is carry the cuckold (shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo) 

He give you to much sympathy and too much love 

And then when it comes to this, when it comes to this 

Chorus: you give me too much tenderness 

I know where I've been 'til you ask me 

It's getting confusing in my head 

I know what I've seen 'til you ask me 

(or am I blind like somebody once said ? ) 

And now the only place to go 

Is make for the mountains, head for the snow 

He gives you everything he could 

He gives you his heart and soul 

But then when it comes to this, when it comes to this 

Chorus: you give me too much tenderness
