LILT: Mehr 1.0

As always, there are issues, but I'm pleased with the first draft:
I need so many
And such a lot
And all for me
All for me

Everything
That one desires
I'll have
again ten times

I'm never sated
I'm never sated
It is better
To have more

More, more...

What I do have
Is never enough
I need a deal
I need a great deal

I've nought to give up
Why would I give?
Sure, I am rich, not rich enough.
My modesty? It's not so bad.
I'll have it all please,
All there is to have.

I'm never sated
I'm never sated
It is better
To have more

More, more, more...
Much more.

I'm never content
There's no nonesuch
There's no enough
Never too much

All the others, they hit their limit.
Give me theirs also
They do not need it!

I'm never content
There's no nonesuch
There's no enough
Never too much

All the others, they hit their limit.
Give me theirs also
They do not need it!

I'm never content
There's no nonesuch
There's no enough
Never too much

All the others, they hit their limit.
Give me theirs also
They do not need it!

I'm never content
There's no nonesuch
There's no enough
Never too much

All the others, they hit their limit.

I need much more!
More
More
Much more
Then more

For those wondering, I've stripped out Till's meaning and put in nonesuch in a self-referential way, nonesuch meaning the ideal, or the model man, i.e. the singer is saying he's not perfect. I wanted to keep the rhyme with the final 'too much' and retaining the meaning of the second line made that impossible. I could have taken too much out and used something else, but I like too much.
