Hello guys,

I'm trying to transcribe the lyrics for "Too Much" but my french ears are not used enough to english...... Here's what I hear but some words are missing or not correct. I need your help please.

I'm not saying I am the best I could be
Not playing that "ho hey look at me"
You say you're happy with (the name how to please?)
But for you I'm too much

The games you play could turn @@@@ into tears
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
But for you I'm too much

You show @@@@@ happy when they’re looking at you
Playing the part from the start
You get me thinking what I might like I do
And then you leave me back here in the dark

I’m not going back to @@@@@
You say you love me but only as your friend
Didn’t care the first time maybe @@@@@@
But for you I'm too much

You show @@@@@ happy when they’re looking at you
Playing the part from the start
You get me thinking what I might like I do
And then you leave me back here in the darkness darkness

I’m not going back to @@@@@
You say you love me but only as your friend
Didn’t care the first time maybe @@@@@@
But for you I'm too much
But for you I'm too much too much

This is all I could discern...

I'm not saying I am the best I could be
Not playing that "oh hey look at me"
You say you're happy with ********* (ad-hoc'er priest?)
But for you I'm too much

The games you play could turn a drop into tears
a dreary future seems to drag on for a year
I think of you and I think just one more beer
cause for you I'm too much

You sure get happy when they’re looking at you
Playing the part from the start
You get me thinking what I might like to do
And then you leave me back here in the dark

I’m not going back to headache again
You say you love me but only as your friend
Didn’t care the first time maybe get it on ten
But for you I'm too much

You sure get happy when they’re looking at you
Playing the part from the start
You get me thinking what I might like to do
And then you leave me back here in the darkness darkness

I’m not going back to headache again
You say you love me but only as your friend
Didn’t care the first time maybe get it on ten
But for you I'm too much
But for you I'm too much too much

Line 3 could be: "You say you're happy that ain't hard to please"

Line 6: "A day with you seems to drag on for years"

Line 15: "Didn't get it the first time maybe get it on ten"

A few fixes (listening to the live version on Soul on Ten):

> You say you're happy with ********* (ad-hoc'er priest?)
"an 'ain't hard to please'"

> a dreary future seems to drag on for a year

"a day with you just seems..."

> Didn’t care the first time maybe get it on ten

"Didn't get it the first time, maybe get it on ten"

>Didn’t care the first time maybe get it on ten

as above
