I've been bad, so I've been told
Easy tempted, easy sold
Been persuaded once too much
Can't resist, can't get enough

Past the limits of desire
Off the edge into the fire
(Oh, whoa, whoa) I took a little
But the little took a lot
(Oh, whoa, whoa) I took a little
And I really oughta stop

Passion, pleasure, fantasy
Standing there right next to me
One more taste of something sweet
One more taste of ecstasy

Past the limits of desire
Off the edge into the fire
(Oh, whoa, whoa) I took a little
But the little took a lot
(Oh, whoa, whoa) I took a little
And I really oughta stop

I took a little
Just a little
Oh, yeah

Modicum, man

(Solo)

(Oh, whoa, whoa) I took a little
But the little took a lot
(Oh, whoa, whoa) I took a little
And I really oughta stop

(Oh, whoa, whoa) I took a little
But the little took a lot
(Oh, whoa, whoa) I took a little
But the little took a lot right out of me, yeah
