Never Too Much
AJ Tabaldo 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 shinin' 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 thinkin' of you
I still remember in the days when I scared to touch 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
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'
Well, 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'm winnin'
We've come a long way and yet this is only the beginnin'
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)
I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much
The song Never Too Much by AJ Tabaldo (originally by Luther Vandross) is a beautiful tribute to one's romantic partner. The opening lines reflect the singer's profound adoration for his lover and reveal his fear of being loved by someone else. He calls this person his "shining star," his "guiding light," and his "love fantasy." He mentions how his love for this person is chronic and how they hold the top position of his list, always at the forefront of his thoughts. The subsequent verses detail how the singer initially struggled to convey his feelings to his partner, but the latter recognized his affection and let him in. The chorus then repeats the sentiment that the singer's love for his partner is infinite and that "a thousand kisses" and "a million days" with them are "never too much."
What is striking about these lyrics is how they paint a picture of a love that is profound yet simple - one that is not overly complex or convoluted. The singer doesn't need grand gestures or material possessions to prove his love. Rather, his devotion is pure and all-encompassing, and he would rather spend a million days in his lover's arms than anywhere else. Overall, the song has a timeless quality to it and speaks to the heart in a way that few other love ballads do.
