Less Is More
Rupert Holmes Lyrics

The more I learn, the less I know
The more I gain knowledge, the more I realize how little I know.

The more I earn, the more I owe
The more money I make, the more financial obligations I have.

The more I search for somethin' new
The more I look for something novel and exciting.

The more I come right back to you
The more I realize that my personal fulfillment is linked to my connection with you.

I'll always need your love I guess
I accept that I am dependent on your love.

I've looked for more but more is less
I tried to find more happiness, but it's only making things worse.

You take me in, you take me slow
You accept me as I am and allow me to move at my own pace.

You let me be, you let me know
You give me space while still letting me know that you're there for me.

That less is more, less is more
Having less can be more valuable and fulfilling than having more.

Hold me tight and everything is right
When I am in your arms, everything feels right and complete.

Just like before
Our love has remained consistent and unwavering.

Love is more, love is more
Love exceeds anything else that one can attain in life.

Love is more than all the empty dreams
Love is more significant than any unfulfilling desires.

Outside your door
The love that one seeks is not something that they have to go beyond their reach to find.

Make it easy
Simplify things and focus on what's really important.

The more you buy, the less you've sold
Buying more means that you have less money, and material things cannot be sold at the same value as when they're bought.

The more you try, the more you fold
Attempting too much can lead to failure and decrease one's morale.

The more you read, the less you see
Reading and learning more can sometimes make one feel more confused than enlightened.

The more you need, the less you're free
Desiring more only makes one feel more burdened and less free to make unrestricted choices.

Do what you do, you do it best
Focus on doing what you're capable of doing, and do it to the best of your abilities.

Don't run the race with all the rest
Make your own pace and don't compare yourself to others.

You set the pace so easily
You're naturally good at creating a steady and relaxing pace for our relationship.

With all the moves you make on me
You keep our relationship engaging and fresh with your various romantic gestures.

Less is more, less is more
Contentment can be achieved with fewer emotionally fulfilling things.

Less is more than everything combined
Less could provide more value than everything combined.

That's gone before
That which has already passed away does not hold significant value in comparison to the present.

And more and more I must confess
I'm coming to understand that the fulfillment I seek comes from having less in life.

I find I'm needing less and less
I'm starting to learn how to be content with fewer things.

Why take the climb, why take the fall?
What's the point of chasing something only to fail and hurt oneself?

When more is here and less is all
What truly matters is having love, even though it may seem small and insignificant.

Love is here, love is there
Love can be found anywhere as long as one looks for it.

Love is found with both feet on the ground
Sticking to reality and being grounded can lead you to true love.

That you share
When one shares love, it becomes genuinely fulfilling.

Take it easy
Relax and slow down, redirecting efforts on what's truly worth seeking in life.
