Album: Bonafide (1995)

Overflow

There's many tears and sad love songs
For all of those who lost to love (yes)
Nobody seems to know why we do what we do
To each other when the times get rough (yes)
I thought ove was plain and simple
But oh what a lie
I've been counting on the one I love
It's not that love breaks my heart
You know love don't love nobody
I guess the level that loved was too much

[Chorus:]
Ooh, I didn't know
Not to let my love overflow
Noo, I didn't know
Not to let my love overflow

You see there's not many ways around the mountain
For all those who choose to climb
Sometimes it feels like no matter how far I get
The distance is all up to time
See I gave my love my only faith
But oh what a shame
I felt wealthy with my bag of fools' gold
And there's a point when you know
That your love's off the tracks
When the train stops 'cause the engine's too old

[Chorus:]
Ooh, I didn't know
Not to let my love overflow
Noo, I didn't know
Not to let my love overflow

[Bridge:]
Don't wanna say I lost my faith in love
No, I don't wanna say I've given up on my dreams
I believe in everlasting love, yes I do
Just give it to me, what I want,
'Cause it's only you

[Chorus:]
Ooh, I didn't know
Not to let my love overflow
Noo, I didn't know
Not to let my love overflow
