Much Too Much Lyrics

[Intro]
Much too much to bear

[Verse 1]
Your love is hard and fast
Your love will always last
If it's you I need
I've got to pay the levy
Got to pay
Because your love's too heavy on me

[Chorus]
And it's much too much to bear

[Verse 2]
If I ever leave you darling
I hope you see
That I really love you
But your love's too heavy on me

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
When I make love to you
Do all the things you want me to do
You never think of me
Always cry a bevy
Bevy of tears
Because your love's too heavy on me
[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
There was a time I could give all I had to you
But my enthusiasm waned and I can't bear the pain
Of doing what I don't want to do

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]
Your love is hard and fast
Your love will always last
If it's you I need
I've got to pay the levy
Got to pay
Because your love's too heavy on me

[Chorus]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

The first original song on the album to not be a part of a single.

A quote from Pete Townshend could be found in the album’s liner notes: I like the beginning of this. Sounds like Barry McGuire, doesn’t it? Very sort of folksy, ‘Green, Green’."
