You walked in my life But made me smile How could I have known Hunger locked in time We can start a fire, But we can't control the flame And I just can't wait to feel the heat again In the middle of the night She cry too much ain't enough love to satisfy me, yeah I said too much ain't enough love to satisfy me Well it just seems like yesterday I was running alone And I turn my back home love But baby I wasn't wrong Do I miss your touch Or tell myself on the line Then I can't get enough When I'm lying by your side She cry too much ain't enough love to satisfy me, yeah I said too much ain't enough love to satisfy me I gotta burn his heart baby Do I miss your touch Or tell myself a lie And I can't get enough When I'm lying by your side In the middle of the night She cry too much ain't enough love to satisfy me, yeah I said too much ain't enough love to satisfy me I gotta burn it hard baby Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me, yeah But I smoke as fire baby Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me hey
