Just A Little Bit
Magnum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw your face
Across the room
I was scared if I should speak
That I'd wake up and find I'd been asleep
You need to know
But you don't ask
Where's it leading to?
When I want to spend the night with you?

You're more than a friend
And I promise the night will never end

You know I can't get enough
Of your love, sweet love
Just a little bit ain't enough
Of your love, sweet, sweet love

I hear your voice
You're everywhere
I've been losing sleep
And it happens every time we get to meet
And though we talk
Still no one knows
We keep it on the shelf
'Cause I know you've got to leave with someone else

You're more than a friend
And I promise the night will never end

You know I can't get enough
Of your love, sweet love
Just a little bit ain't enough
Of your love, sweet love
You know I can't get enough
Of your love, sweet love
In between the smooth and the rough
Is your love, sweet love

Lost in time
I get caught out of place
That's the truth on the line
Don't think I can surrender with grace

You know I can't get enough
Of your love, sweet love
Just a little bit ain't enough
Of your love, sweet love
You know I can't get enough
Of your love, sweet love




In between the smooth and the rough
Is your love, sweet, sweet love

Line by Line Meaning

I saw your face
I noticed you from afar


Across the room
From a distance


I was scared if I should speak
I was hesitant to approach you


That I'd wake up and find I'd been asleep
It felt like a dream that might not be real


You need to know
There's something I want to tell you


But you don't ask
You don't inquire


Where's it leading to?
I'm wondering what our future holds


When I want to spend the night with you?
I desire to be intimate with you


You're more than a friend
My feelings for you go beyond friendship


And I promise the night will never end
I want to spend as much time with you as possible


You know I can't get enough
I am addicted to your love


Of your love, sweet love
Your affection and tenderness


Just a little bit ain't enough
I always want more


You're everywhere
You're always on my mind


I've been losing sleep
I can't stop thinking about you


And it happens every time we get to meet
Every encounter with you increases my attachment


And though we talk
We communicate openly


Still no one knows
Our connection is a secret


We keep it on the shelf
We keep it private


'Cause I know you've got to leave with someone else
We cannot be together permanently


In between the smooth and the rough
Through the good and the bad


Is your love, sweet love
Your love is always present


Lost in time
Feeling uncertain about the future


I get caught out of place
I feel disoriented


That's the truth on the line
That's how I really feel


Don't think I can surrender with grace
I am unable to let go easily
