How Much I Feel
Ambrosia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of you thinkin' that I have been untrue
But if you think that we'd be better parted
It's gonna hurt me, but I'll break away from you
Well, just give me the sign and I will be gone, yeah
(That's how much I feel) feel for you, baby
(How much I need) well I need your touch
That's how much (that's how much)
That's how much, that's how much
I sleep alone, and late at night I'm dreamin'
Of the togetherness that seems to be leaving me
I'd give it all and then I'd give some more
If you would only love me like you had before
Well, take hold of my hand and all will be forgiven, yeah
(That's how much I feel) feel for you, baby
(How much I need) I need your touch
(How much I live) I live for your loving
(That's how much) that's how much
That's how much, that's how much
So you try (try), try to stay in the middle
And then you cry (cry), well you cry just a little
Then you both realize
Just how foolish you've been
And you try to make amends
But you're better off as friends
'Cause that's how much (that's how much)
That's how much, that's how much
How's your life been goin' on?
I've got a wife now, years we've been goin' strong
Oh, no, there's just something that I've got to say
Sometimes when we make love
I still can see your face
Ooh, just try to recall
When we were as one, yeah
(That's how much I feel) feel for you, baby
(How much I need) I need your touch
(How much I live) I live for your loving
That's how much
Ambrosia's song How Much I Feel is a ballad that captures the essence of a love that is slowly drifting away. The artist addresses his lover, who seems to have developed doubts about his faithfulness. He is reassuring her that his feelings and his love for her are genuine and deep. He opens the song with a declaration of not understanding how the rumors of his infidelity started. He then pleads with her to give him a signal if she still wants him to leave. The song's chorus features the artist expressing how much he feels for his lover while also showing how much he needs her touch and how he lives for her love.
As the song progresses, the artist reminisces on a time when they were more in love and all he wanted was her love. Now, he sleeps alone, hoping for the union they used to have. He is willing to give his all and more if only she would love him again like before. He pleads with her to hold his hand, and all would be forgiven.
The third verse shows that the artist has moved on, and he is now married to someone else. However, he still has a lingering feeling towards his lover, which resurfaces when he makes love to his current wife. He then urges her to remember the good times they had together when they were one.

Man, I lived this song. My HS girlfriend got moved to Miami from Chicago our senior year when her Dad transferred. Both of us went on with our lives but we never got over what we had together. After my divorce in 87 from my first wife she showed up at my front door one summer Saturday. We will be married 27 years this December. Sometimes you do get a second chance at your first Love....... :)

I keep hearing stories like this on YouTube and every time I hear when I cry because I'm still in love with someone I haven't seen in over 15 years. I wonder if we will ever get a second chance.
