Love You Too Much

My momma told me you were bad news, honey,
She said you're gonna ruin my life
'Cause I love you too much,
Yeah, I love you too much.

I wanna leave you, there's no denying
I must have tried a million times
But I love you too much,
I just love you too much.

I stand convicted behind the bars of love,
For me there is no escape, not even mercy from heaven above.

You've got me fallin' this way and that way,
Anyway you just ain't here
And I love you too much,
Yeah, I love you too much.

Well you can take me honey, you can steal my money,
You can step on my blue suede shoes
'Cause I love you too much,
Yeah, I love you too much.

I've been neglected, but I feel no pain
'Cause my line's been connected and I can ring it again and again.

So think of what you're doing, leading me to ruin.
Don't be cruel baby, can't you see
That I love you too much?
You know I love you too much.

Well, even if you hurt me, abuse me and desert me,
You know that I would go down in flames
'Cause I love you too much,
Yeah, I love you too much.

I'm declaring a state of emergency baby, dial 999.
You gotta help me, I'm falling, I just don't know if I can make it this time
'Cause I love you too much,
Yeah, I love you too much.

So baby, why do you hate me and humiliate me?
I wish you'd get out of my life
'Cause I love you too much,
Yeah, I love you too much.

I feel frustrated like a tiger in a cage.
You gotta release me before I fly into a screaming rage.


You know I really ought to put you down
Before you make a fool out of me
But I love you too much,
Yeah, I love you too much.

So think of what you're doing, leading me to ruin,
Don't be cruel baby, can't you see
That I love you too much,
Yeah, I love you too much.

You got me fallin' this way and that way
Anyway you just ain't here
And I love you too much,
Yeah, I love you too much.

Well, you can take me honey, you can steal my money,
You can step on my blue suede boots
'Cause I love you too much,
Yeah, I love you too much.

Well, and even if you hurt me, abuse me and desert me,
Baby, I'd go down in flames
'Cause I love you too much,
Yeah, I love you too much.
