“Sobra-Sobra” Lyrics in English
Too Much
If I take charge, they call me bossy
If I don’t smile, they call me too intense
When I get loud they think I’m crazy
When I chase what I want, they think I’m too obsessive
The Filipina isn’t too much, the way you judge
Maybe you’re the problem
Maria Clara, Gabriela, they don’t need comparing
If they’re too like this and like that
Then whatever
I have figured it out (I’m not too much)
I won’t put myself down (I’m a queen, a goddess)
I will dance, I will shout, my voice will rise above
And if I’m too much for you
Maybe you’re just not enough for me
They say I’m just too liberated
When I embrace my femininity
But then I’m too domineering
When I show my strength too bad you can’t stop me
The Filipina isn’t too much, the way you judge
Maybe you’re the problem
I’m strong, I’m beautiful
No need to choose another
And if I’m too like this and like that
Then whatever
I have figured it out (I’m not too much)
I won’t put myself down (I’m a queen, a goddess)
I will dance, I will shout, my voice will rise above
And if I’m too much for you
Maybe you’rе just not enough for me
Why are too many people meddling
With how I dress, walk or move
Saying I’m too flirtatious, unruly or rough
Or else too shy; what exactly should I be?
Too strong if not too weak
I think I shouldn’t be the one to change
If I’m too much, then just drop dead
Being a woman is already tiring, you’re just adding to it
I have figured it out
I won’t put myself down (I’m a queen, a goddess)
I will dance, I will shout, my voice will rise above
And if I’m too much for you
Maybe you’re just not enough for me (Not enough for me)
I have figured it out (I’m not too much)
I won’t put myself down (I’m a queen, a goddess)
I will dance, I will shout, my voice will rise above
And if I’m too much for you
Maybe you’re just not enough for me
