Think Too Much
Performer(s): Paul Simon



They say that the left side of the brain 
Controls the right 
They say that the right side 
Has to work hard all night 
Maybe I think too much for my own good 
Some people say so 
Other people say no no 
The fact is 
You don't think as much as you could 
hmmm 
I had a childhood that was mercifully brief 
I grew up in a state of disbelief 
I started to think too much 
When I was twelve going on thirteen 
Me and the girls from St. Augustine 
Up in the mezzanine 
Thinking about God 
Maybe I think too much 
Maybe I think too much 
Maybe I think too much 
Maybe I think too much 
Have you ever experienced a period of grace 
When your brain just takes a seat behind your face 
And the world begins The Elephant Dance 
Everything's funny 
Everyone's sunny 
You take out your money 
And walk down the road 
That leads me to the girl I love 
The girl I'm always thinking of 
But maybe I think too much 
And I ought to just hold her 
Stop trying to mold her 
Maybe blindfold her 
And take her away 
Maybe I think too much 
Maybe I think too much 
Maybe I think too much 
Maybe I think too much
