Too Much Of A Good Thing
Diesel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Might have stopped the sin
But how far should you take it
When she wants you back again?
Have mercy on me
I can feel your sting
Have mercy on me
Hear the song I sing
Too much of a good thing
Just a little bit of lovin'
Might have saved the day
But she turned and started walking away
Started walking away
Have mercy on me
I'm like a puppet on a string
Have mercy on me
For it does not mean a thing
Too much of a good thing, baby
Too much of a good thing, girl
Have mercy on me
I'm like a puppet on a string
Have mercy on me
For it does not mean a thing
Too much of a good thing, baby
Too much of a good thing, girl
Too much of a good thing, baby
Too much of a good thing, girl

Line by Line Meaning
A moment of discretion
If only I had thought things through
Might have stopped the sin
I could have prevented this mistake
But how far should you take it
Is it worth going back down this road?
When she wants you back again?
When she comes back, should I give in?
Have mercy on me
Please forgive me
I can feel your sting
I feel the pain of my bad decisions
Hear the song I sing
Listen to my plea for forgiveness
Too much of a good thing, baby
Sometimes too much love can be a bad thing
Just a little bit of lovin'
Maybe if I had shown her a little more affection
Might have saved the day
I could have fixed things
But she turned and started walking away
It's too late now
I'm like a puppet on a string
I have no control over my emotions
For it does not mean a thing
None of this matters
Too much of a good thing, girl
Too much love can also be bad for her
