A Little Too Much
Katie James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He’s young and tall and he’s strong and brave
He’s smart and wise
And he comes up to you
And he whispers in your ear
All the things you want to hear
And your heart just meltsHe touches your hands
And he makes you feel like you’ve never felt
He’s the kind of man you’ve only seen
In your fantasies and in your dreams
Oh he’s perfect in every way
So it seems
But only one problem
Just one little problem
He knows it, and he knows it a little too much!
So when he knows just how much you want him
He’ll walk away with your heart in his hand
And you won’t understand
Can’t you see what he wanted wasn’t you?
Oh how could you have been such a fool?
You’re just another on the list
Of the girls he’s provoked but he’s never kissed
He just wanted the world to see
That he could have you if he wanted to
Just like he could have had me
‘Cause he’s the kind of man
We’ve only seen in our fantasies and in our dreams
Mmm so it seems
But only one problem
In Katie James's song "A Little Too Much", the singer is drawn to a man who seems perfect in every way. He has a perfect smile, perfect face, and perfect eyes. He is young, tall, strong, brave, smart, and wise. When he whispers in her ear, all the things she wants to hear, her heart melts. He makes her feel things she has never felt before. She believes he is the man of her dreams, the kind of man she's only seen in her fantasies.
However, there is just one problem: he knows how much she wants him, and he knows it a little too much. He uses his power over her to walk away with her heart in his hand, leaving her confused and heartbroken. She realizes that she was just another girl on his list, provoked but never kissed. He wanted to show the world that he could have her if he wanted to, just like he could have had the singer.
The song highlights the dangers of falling for someone who knows their own worth and uses it to manipulate their partners. The man in the song represents those who play with people's emotions and use them for their own gain. It speaks to the experience of many who have been pulled in by someone who seems perfect, only to realize later that they were not sincere. Ultimately, the song warns against being blinded by perfection and urges listeners to be cautious in matters of the heart.

Hola Katie.
Busqué tu video con menos reproducciones, ver si tenía pocos comentarios y publicar el mío para tener chance de que lo leas; él tiene por objeto pedirte (si puedes) que cantes tu versión de Camino Viejo, el tema colombiano que grabaron Garzón y Collazos, apelando a tu gusto por esas canciones. El tema es muy significativo para mí, que también pasé unos años de mi infancia en el campo que modelaron mi sensibilidad para siempre.
Por cierto: tuve oportunidad de cruzar palabras de viva voz contigo hace unos días y me sentí muy cómodo por tu sencillez, esto me conmovió. Gracias.
