Think Too Much (B) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The smartest people in the world had gathered in Los Angeles
To analyze our love affair and finally unscramble us
And they sat among our photographs, examined every one
And in the end we compromised and met the morning sun

[Chorus]
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much

[Verse 2]
They say the left side of the brain dominates the right
And the right side has to labor through the long and speechless night
And in the night, my father came to me and held me to his chest
He said, "There's not much more that you can do, go on and get some rest"

[Chorus]
And I said "Yeah, maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I think too much"

Song Bio

After being constantly told he thinks too much and writing the comical “Think Too Much (A)”, Simon wrote “Think Too Much (B)” as a more sincere reflection on his tendency to think too much.

I’ll write two songs called “Think Too Much”, which is exactly what someone who thinks too much should do.
