Yeah my mama said ''i kind of put you down''
That you're gonna ruin my life,
but I love you too much,
I must love you too much.
My mama she said ''you're gonna lose your heart''
You're gonna lose your wealth,
but I love you too much,
I must love you too much.
How can [...] what I said but I just can't do it girl,
you're no beast that I can cut you down,
I just can't do it because I love you too much,
I love you too much,
I love you too much,
I must love you too much.
I really love you, you can't leave
You need me when I disappear,
but I love you too much,
I must love you too much.
You've got me falling this way and that way,
Anyway you just ain't here.
But I love you too much,
I just love you too much.
Yeah all the rape men wish you were gone,
I wish you'd get out of my sight.
I love you too much,
I just love you too much.
Anyway I just treat you good.
I know you treat me right,
Yeah I love you too much,
yes I love you too much.

My mama told me you were bad news honey
She said you're gonna ruin my life
'cos I love you too much
Yeah I love you too much.
I want to leave you there's no denying
I must have tried a million times
But I love you too much
Yeah I 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 falling 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
'cos I love you too much
Yeah I love you too much.
I've been neglected but I feel no pain
'Cos my line's been connected and I can ring it again and again.
So think of what you're doing, you're 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.
Well even if you hurt me, abuse me and desert me
you know I would go down in flames
'cos I love you too much
Yeah I love you too much.
I'm declaring a state of emergency baby, dial 999
You got to help me, I'm falling, I just don't know if I can make it this time
'cos I love you too much
Yeah I love you too much.
So baby why do you hate me and humilate me?
I wish you'd get out of my life
'cos I love you too much
Yeah I love you too much.
I feel frustrated like a tiger in a cage
You got to 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, you're 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've got me falling 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
'cos I love you too much
Yeah I love you too much.
Well even if you hurt me, abuse me and desert me
You know I would go down in flames
'cos I love you too much
Yeah I love you too much.

Well, my mama said the girl's puttin' you down
She's gonna ruin my life
I must have loved you too much
I must have loved you too much.
She said 'Boy, you're gonna lose your home'
'You better lose your world'
I must have loved you too much
I must have loved you too much.
I can't help it, I can't help it, girl
I know I miss that old put you down
I just can't do it, girl
I must have loved you too much
I must have loved you too much.
Back way up if you carry me
You need me, girl, when I disappear
I must have loved you too much
I must have loved you too much.
In a slanted way, frontwards and backwards
Anyway you just don't hear
I must have loved you too much
I must have loved you too much.
Well, I don't know the way but I wish you would go
I wish that you'd get out of my sight
I must have loved you too much
I must have loved you too much.
Anyway at all, just leave and go
I won't 'til you leave me alone
I must have loved you too much
I must have loved you too much.
