Never Too Much
♪ Luther Vandross Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't fool myself I don't want nobody else to ever love me
You are my shining star my guiding light my love fantasy
There's not a minute, hour, day or night that I don't love you
You're at the top of my list 'cause I'm always thinking of ya
I still remember in the days when I was scared to touch you
How I spent my day dreamin' plannin' how to say "I love you"
You must have known that I had feelings deep enough to swim in
That's when you opened up your heart and you told me to come in

Oh my love, a thousand kisses from you
Is never too much, I just don't wanna stop
Oh my love, a million days in your arms
Is never too much, I just don't wanna stop
Never too much, never too much
Never too much, never too much

Woke up today, looked at your picture just to get me started
I called you up but you weren't there and I was broken hearted
Hung up the phone, can't be too late, the boss is so demandin'
Opened the door up and to my surprise there you were standin'
Who needs to go to work to hustle for another dollar?
I'd rather be with you 'cause you make my heart scream and holler
Love is a gamble and I'm so glad that I am winnin'
We've come a long way and yet this is only the beginning

Oh my love, a thousand kisses from you
Is never too much (never too much, never too much, never too much)
I just don't wanna stop
Oh my love, a million days in your arms
Is never too much (never too much, never too much, never too much)
And I just don't wanna stop
Oh my love, a thousand kisses from you is never
(Never too much, never too much, never too much) never




I just don't wanna stop
A million days in your arms is never too much

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Luther Vandross's song Never Too Much express a deep and all-consuming love that the singer has for their significant other. They cannot imagine loving anyone else, as this person is their "shining star" and "guiding light." The singer remembers a time when they were hesitant to express their feelings, but their partner must have known how much they cared, as they were welcomed with open arms. The chorus repeats the phrase "never too much," which emphasizes the intensity and extent of their love. They don't want to ever stop kissing or being in each other's arms.


The second verse further speaks to the singer's dedication to their love. Even when their partner is not physically present, they remain in their thoughts, and the singer longs to be with them instead of going to work "to hustle for another dollar." They describe love as a gamble, but they feel fortunate to have won the jackpot with this person. They believe that they have come far, but their journey is far from over.
