Is That Too Much To Ask
Biboulakis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I slip into my best dress
I'm gonna go out tonight
Expecting to get loose now
And I hope you don't put up a fight
Remember that you only live one time
You gotta get crazy if you're gonna be mine

Gonna be mine

Gonna be mine
Gonna be mine
Gonna be mine

If you're never weird in some way
Then you're not entertaining
And if you're never crazy
That's a shame, you're a little lazy
If you never surprise me
You're not entertaining
You never laugh at yourself
You just do too much complaining

Remember that you only live one time
You gotta get cra, cra, c cra, cra, cra
Remember that, r r remember that
Remember that you only live one time
You gotta get crazy if you're gonna be mine

Gonna be mine
Gonna be mine
Gonna be mine
Gonna be mine

Oh, remember that you only live one time
You gotta get crazy if you're gonna be mine
Surprise and entertain me, is that too much to ask?

Now put a little swing to it
Put a little back into it
Open up your mind and do it
Is that too much to ask?
I don't care if you ain't got money

I don't care if you're a little bit funny
Is that too much, is that too much to ask?
