Am                                     Em 
Don't go sending me those three dozen roses 
Am                                 Em 
Don't you know that just one rose will do 
Am                                     Em 
Don't go trying to put diamonds on my fingers 
B                                     B7 
Don't you know that I'm making money too 
 
Don't go throwing those stones outside my window 
You don't gotta be calling three times a day 
'Cause if you do then when we get together 
I'll be biting my lip 'cause there's nothing else left to say 
 
Haven't you heard absence makes the heart grow fonder 
Haven't you heard nothing good comes overnight 
I'm telling you straight baby, just in case you wonder 
It's turning me off, crowding me out its not right 
 
         Am 
Less is more  
        Em                        
Back it up slow it down let it breathe 
                                       Am 
Cause you too much of a good thing can be bad 
     Em 
See we don't wanna go out like that 
 Am 
Less is more 
                                      Em 
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out 
                             B 
If you want me to still be around 
   B7 
Remember 
 
If you wanna be showing your affection 
Don't you know a simple kiss will do 
So many beautiful ways for love's expression 
But I'm sorry to say your way ain't getting through 
 
Haven't you heard a little space makes the heart grow fonder 
Haven't you heard nothing good comes overnight 
I'm telling you straight baby, just in case you wonder 
It's turning me off, crowding me out its not right 
 
Less is more  
Back it up slow it down let it breathe 
Cause you too much of a good thing can be bad 
See we don't wanna go out like that 
Less is more 
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out 
If you want me to still be around 
Remember 
 
It would be something if I had a chance to be missing you 
Too much for taking it's driving me crazy that's all you do 
It needs rearranging It's so suffocating That I can't move 
You gotta take two steps back Believe what they say It's true 
 
Less is more  
Back it up slow it down let it breathe 
Cause you too much of a good thing can be bad 
See we don't wanna go out like that 
Less is more 
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out 
If you want me to still be around 
Remember 
 
 Am                   Em 
Gimme a chance to miss you Boy I don't mean to diss you,  
 Am                          
but I tell you I need some space and still 
      Em 
you call me up three times a day 
      Am 
You know, baby you crowding me out  
 Em                        B    B7 
Haven't you heard less is more 
  
         Am              Em 
Less is more, listen m? boy 
         Am  Em 
Less is more
