Barry White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too much of anything is not good for you, baby
(Oh no) but I don't know about that
There's many times that we've loved
We've shared love and made love
It doesn't seem to me like it's enough
There's just not enough of it
There's just not enough
(My babe) My darling I, can't get enough of your love babe
Girl, I don't know, I don't know why
I can't get enough of your love babe
Oh, some things I can't get used to
No matter how I try
Just like the more you give, the more I want
And baby, that's no lie
Oh no, babe
Tell me, what can I say?
What am I gonna do?
How should I feel when everything is you?
What kind of love is this that you're givin' me?
Is it in your kiss or just because you're sweet?
Girl, all I know is every time you're here
I feel the change
Something moves
I scream your name
Do what you got to do
Darling, I, can't get enough of your love babe
Girl, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
I can't get enough of your love babe
Oh no, babe
Girl, if only I could make you see
And make you understand
Girl, your love for me is all I need
And more than I can stand
Oh well, babe
How can I explain all the things I feel?
You've given me so much
Girl, you're so unreal
Still I keep loving you
More and more each time
Girl, what am I gonna do
Because you blow my mind
I get the same old feeling every time you're here
I feel the change
Something moves
I scream your name
Do what you got to do
Darling, I, can't get enough of your love babe
Oh no, babe
Baby, it didn't take all of my life to find you
But you can believe it's gonna take the rest of my life to keep you
Oh no, babe
I can't get enough of your love babe
Yeah, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
Can't get enough of your love babe
Oh my darling I, can't get enough of your love babe
Oh babe
Girl, I don't know, I don't know why
I can't get enough of your love babe
Oh darling I can't get enough of your love babe

Line by Line Meaning
I've heard people say that
There's an adage that says too much of anything is not good for you
Too much of anything is not good for you, baby
People believe that consuming too much of anything can have negative consequences
(Oh no) but I don't know about that
However, I can't say whether that's true or not
There's many times that we've loved
We've shared romantic moments with each other multiple times
We've shared love and made love
We've expressed our affection for each other both emotionally and physically
It doesn't seem to me like it's enough
However, it feels like it's never enough for me
There's just not enough of it
I always crave more of your love
Oh oh, babe
My love for you goes beyond words
(My babe) My darling I, can't get enough of your love babe
My beloved, I can't seem to get enough of your love
Girl, I don't know, I don't know why
I don't understand why I feel this way
Oh, some things I can't get used to
There are some things about you that continue to surprise and amaze me
No matter how I try
I can't seem to stop feeling this way
Just like the more you give, the more I want
The more affection you show me, the more I crave it
And baby, that's no lie
I'm not exaggerating, it's the truth
Tell me, what can I say?
I'm at a loss for words
What am I gonna do?
I don't know what to do about the way I feel
How should I feel when everything is you?
You're always on my mind, how am I supposed to respond to that?
What kind of love is this that you're givin' me?
What makes your love so special and unique?
Is it in your kiss or just because you're sweet?
Do I feel this way because of physical gestures or just your natural personality?
Girl, all I know is every time you're here
All I do know is when you're around
I feel the change
I feel a shift in my emotions
Something moves
Something inside of me changes
I scream your name
I can't contain my excitement for you
Do what you got to do
I'll do anything to keep feeling this way about you
Girl, if only I could make you see
If I could only make you understand the depth of my feelings
And make you understand
Help you truly comprehend my love for you
Girl, your love for me is all I need
Your affection is my sole necessity
And more than I can stand
I can't fathom how much I need your love
How can I explain all the things I feel?
How can I put into words the range of emotions I'm experiencing?
You've given me so much
You've provided me with incomprehensible amounts of love and affection
Girl, you're so unreal
My attraction to you is almost unbelievable
Still I keep loving you
Regardless of how strong my attraction is, my love for you only increases
More and more each time
Each time I see you, I love you more
Girl, what am I gonna do
I can't control how much I love you
Because you blow my mind
You leave me feeling overwhelmed and stunned
Baby, it didn't take all of my life to find you
I didn't have to wait my entire life to find someone like you
But you can believe it's gonna take the rest of my life to keep you
But I know it will take the rest of my life to keep our love alive
Yeah, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
Despite not fully comprehending my feelings, I can't deny how much I love you

Apart from differences in skin color, White bore a slight resemblance both physically and facially to another famous fat man - "The Great One," Jackie Gleason. Whose "Music For Lovers Only" formula, it sounded like, was melded with funk and soul idioms to create the "Barry White sound." (One big fan of Gleason's mood albums has been Steve Hoffman.)
Angelique Collins
Taylor Dayne, who's had a whole bunch of hits in the 80s-early 90s had a cover version that went top 20. Barry White's version is the one!

@Angelique Collins - I was thinking of his "Never, Never Gonna Give Ya Up" which was covered some two decades later by Lisa Stansfield . . .

@wmbrown6 I'll give you that one

Nor is this the only song of Barry's where his is the one . . .

In Billboard this song was in and out of the chart so fast it's #1 placing on the Hot 100 didn't even get it enough points to make the 1974 ranking of the year's Top 100 hits.
However the autumn of 1974 had some chart activity that was questionable.
wmbrown6
Le'me guess . . . Bill Wardlow was already in charge of Billboard charts at that point?
Caesar Stroman
Barry White had some good hits in the 1970’s!! I believe he was in his prime back then!!
