ROLLING STONES LYRICS

I Love You Too Much

First recorded in late 1977, then again in early 1985, never released. There are several different versions of this song, the early ones have Mick Jagger singing lead. Keith Richards, who wrote the song about Anita Pallenberg, hated the way it turned out. It was later re-recorded as a much slower, acoustic guitar song with Keith on lead vocals and Ronnie Wood on steel slide. One of the versions featuring Mick on vocals was released on the new re-issued Some Girls album on November 21, 2011.

Lead Vocals: Mick Jagger Backing Vocals and Piano: Keith Richards Guitars: Keith Richards and Ron Wood  Bass Guitar: Bill Wyman Drums: Charlie Watts 

I Love You Too Much (aka I Can't Help It, aka Shaved Stone)
(Jagger/Richards)

I think I decided to get out of the rain
I wasn't thinkin' I'd be stayin'
But when you pulled me off the door-step
Somehow I knew I'd end up paying
Somehow I knew I knew I'd end up paying - yes!
This thing that does the pa-in

'Cause I love too much
I can't help it if I love you too much
So much more than just a simple crush
I can't help it if I love you
I can't help it if I love you

You call it morbid fascination
I call it nasty education
Friends of mine, they all snicker and sneer
Their all laughin' while I cry in my beer
I never give-in
I get discourage but  I never give-in

'Cause I love too much
I can't help it 'cause I love you too much
You got me dizzy like a martini lunch, I can't help it if I love you
I can't help it if I love you

I come to tell you that I'm sticking it out
I like your body obsession
You give me something I know nothing about 
Instilling madness in my member

I can't fight my own obsission
You can call it, call a lesson

I love you too much
So much more than just a simple crush
You got me dizzy like a martini lunch, I can't help it if I love you Love you too much
I can't help it if I love you
I can't help it 'cause I love you
I can't help it if I love you
I can't help it if I love you
