Too Much
Keshia Chanté Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is it really too much to ask?

Why is it every time that I,
Let go show love to someone else
I make a fool out of myself (please tell me why)
Look at me, how I fit these jeans
Why can I find a fit for me?
A guy to give me what I need (please tell me why)

Is it really too much to ask,
For somebody that'll hold my hand,
Who ain't shamed of what we have,
Is it really too much to ask? (is it too much?)
Is it really too much to ask,
For somebody that'll hold my had,
Who ain't shamed of what we have,
I don't know,I don't understand (is it too much?)

These dudes out here are something else
Tell lies, run game,they something else
I can't do right not get left, and that just ain't right
No birthday card, no gift, no call
No hug, can't kiss, not in the hall
Is he even my man at all, 'cause that just ain't right
A girl like me, needs to be, with somebody, who can handle all of me
I need a guy that will ride for me, is it really too much?

Can't be with you anymore, if its only on the low
Can't be with you anymore, if its only on the low

Is it really too much to ask?

Yo, why is it every time that I,
Hit you, you be on some mind tricks like a jedi
Didn't see the signs, but I should have known better
How you gonna let her
Come between me and you
There you go, oh
Yup, I already know, think that I don't, but I already know
You tried to lie, but I already know, fall back I'm out the door
Is it too much?

For you to tell the truth?
Just to be straight with me?
Ah, look at how you do





Is it really too much to ask?
