Lyrics Song ” Too Much”

Well, honey, I love you too much
I need your lovin’ too much
Want the thrill of your touch
Well gee, I can’t love you too much
You do all the livin’
While I do all the givin’
Cause I love you too much

Well, you spend all my money too much
I have to share you honey, too much
When I want some lovin’, you’re gone
Don’t you know you’re treatin’ your daddy wrong
Now you got me started
Don’t you leave me broken-hearted
Cause I love you too much

I need your lovin’ all the time
Need your huggin’, please be mine
Need you near me, stay real close
Please, please, hear me, you’re the most
Now you got me started
Don’t you leave me broken-hearted
Cause I love you too much

Too much

Every time I kiss your sweet lips
I can feel my heart go flip flip
I’m such a fool for your charms
Take me back baby in your arms
Like to hear you sighin’
Even though I know you’re lyin’
Cause I love you too much

I need your lovin’ all the time
Need your huggin’, please be mine
Need you near me, stay real close
Please, please, hear me, you’re the most
Now you got me started
Don’t you leave me broken-hearted
Cause I love you too much

BROTHERS BY HEART — THE UNBREAKABLE QUIET FORCE BEHIND ALABAMA. Long before the bright arena lights, platinum records, and roaring crowds, there were simply two young men from Fort Payne learning the rare art of understanding one another without many words. Jeff Cook didn’t need long speeches — his guitar spoke for him. Randy Owen carried the melodies, the stories, and the voice that millions would one day recognize. Together, they created a balance that never chased the spotlight — it quietly earned the world’s respect. Their connection was never dramatic or loud. It was steady. Reliable. If Randy lifted the song with emotion, Jeff grounded it with calm precision. When the endless miles of the road weighed heavy, they didn’t complain — they endured. Night after night. Year after year. Fame arrived quickly, but ego never followed. That’s why Alabama never felt like just another band. They felt like something deeper — like family. And when illness later pulled Jeff Cook away from the stage he loved, Randy Owen didn’t step back or move on. He stepped closer. Not as a lead singer guarding a legacy, but as a brother protecting a lifetime bond. No grand speeches. No dramatic announcements. Just quiet loyalty. Many groups fall apart when the spotlight fades. Alabama never did. Because the real strength of the band was never the crowd, the charts, or the applause. It was two men who always understood when to lead, when to support, and when to simply stand side by side. And a brotherhood like that doesn’t disappear when the music stops. It only grows stronger in the silence.
