Too Many People Lyrics

My hand it shakes, my belly aches, I shouldn't be here
But what can I do, 'cos I spent last night in our room
A second chance, a near escape, I learnt my lesson
But not so easily, and I left my weapon at the scene

What you gonna do about it now?
Cause too many people love you and you're never around
What you gonna do it now?
Cause they're always looking for you and you're never in town

My head it pounds, so many sounds, as reason wakens
To present it's case, 'cos my conscience always speaks too late
I wait until I get my chance to change the subject
But not too obviously, 'cos my weakness knows no subtlety

What you gonna do about it now?
Cause too many people love you and you're never around
What you gonna do it now?
Cause they're always looking for you and you're never in town

My hand it shakes, my belly aches, I shouldn't be here
But what can I do?

What you gonna do about it now?
Cause too many people love you and you're never around
What you gonna do it now?
Who are you gonna run to when this all gets you down?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
