OBSESSION BLUES


BY MICHAEL MCDONALD AND BERNIE CHIARAVALLE

STARIN' BACK AT A ROOM FULL OF STRANGE FACES
I SENSE ANOTHER WELCOME WORN THIN
A BARTENDER SAYIN' "SON TAKE IT OUTSIDE"
"TAKE IT OUT THE DOOR YOU BROUGHT IT IN"
HE SAID, HE DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT MY PROBLEM
OR WHY I THINK I GOT IT SO TOUGH
HE SAID GUYS LIKE ME COME A DIME A DOZEN
THAT MY ONLY PROBLEM IS KNOWIN' WHEN I'VE HAD ENOUGH
(BUT) HOW CAN I HAVE TOO MUCH?

HOW CAN I HAVE TO MUCH OF SOMETHIN' I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF?

YOU SAID IT SO WELL IN YOUR LETTER BABY
YOU GAVE ME EVERY REASON WHY
GIRL YOU SURE USE A LOT OF PAPER, JUST TO SAY GOOD-BYE
WELL HERE'S TO THE GOOD TIMES
HERE'S TO THE WAY WE WERE
HERE'S TO HOW YOU TRIED TO BE MY LOVER
‘TILL DISASTER STRUCK
NOW YOU WANNA BE A FRIEND AND TELL ME
I'M A MAN WHO SIMPLY NEEDS TOO MUCH
BUT HOW CAN I HAVE TOO MUCH?
HOW CAN I HAVE TO MUCH OF SOMETHIN' I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF?
