Small Doses, Small Doses
She only can take so much at one time
She likes it in small doses
She only can take so much at one time

The message on the phone
says to call you up at home
it says I need you
and the words look so good
when read'em and I almost can't believe

you only want kiss when we turn out the light
you kick me out of bed when you see the sun rise
as I search for my keys
you pretend you're asleep

Small Doses, Small Doses
She only can take so much at one time
She likes it in small doses
She only can take so much at one time

I used to make you laugh
now I'm searching for a half hearted smile
and when I get the nerve to ask
"are you upset?" you say, "no I'm just tired"
tired of your dreaming that never comes through
tired wasting time throwing rocks at the moon

so she loves it when I'm lucky
when I'm down she's down

Small Doses, Small Doses
She only can take so much at one time
She likes it in small doses
She only can take so much at one time

sometimes I stay out late
I know you're disappointed
some nights you just gotta waste
is it really that important? yes it is

Small Doses, Small Doses
She only can take so much at one time
She likes it in small doses
She only can take so much at one time
