She's Too Much
Duran Duran · Red Carpet Massacre [2007]
She's everything head first
So happy to be causing trouble
Sometimes the pressure gets too much
And you think she's going to burst
And shatter like a Christmas bubble
I'll be there when the world
Is coming down upon her
When she's scared I'll be there
Fighting in her corner
She cries when she's alone
For all life's little knocks
Everything is supposed to make us tougher
Thinking it doesn't really show
But I know how she hurts
And I can't bare to see her suffer
I'll be there when the world
Is coming down upon her
When she's scared I'll be there
Fighting in her corner
I'll be there when the world
Is closing to surround her
In the air, as she falls
With my arms around her
Holding on, I'm looking out
For her thin skin
Because she's everything
And I don't think she knows
She's such a gentle touch
She's too much, a gentle touch
She likes to catch the sun
Plays with it like a ball
And never mind whatever keeps it burning
Someday she might just be the one
Whose going to save us all
If this apocalypse is coming
I'll be there when the world
Is coming down upon her
When she's scared I'll be there
Fighting in her corner
I'll be there when the world
Is closing to surround her
In the air as she falls
With my arms around her
Holding on, I'm looking out
For her thin skin
Because she's everything
But I don't think she knows
I don't think she knows
I don't think she knows
(She's such a gentle touch)
I don't think she knows
(she's too much, a gentle touch)
