Love Overboard
Gladys Knight & The Pips Lyrics

They tell me, Gladys, you know you love too hard
People say that I love too intensely.

But I tell 'em, not nearly hard enough
But I believe that loving you could never be too hard.

They say, girlfriend, you know you go too far
They also tell me that I take it too far sometimes.

Around the world ain't far enough
But there's no limit to how much I'm willing to go for you.

'Cause I only wanna show you, what you mean to me
All I want to do is show you how much you mean to me.

Every time I'm reachin' out to you, I start to sink
But sometimes my love for you can be overwhelming and it feels almost like drowning.

I may be drowning with desire from your sweet, sweet touch
The feeling of being overwhelmed and drowning in my love for you is because of how strongly I desire your touch.

I don't care what people say 'cause I love you so much
And I don't care what anyone else has to say because the only thing that matters is how much I love you.

Love overboard
My love for you is unlimited.

My love's in need of help
But sometimes it feels like my love needs help because it's so intense.

I sure can't help myself
And I can't help how much I love you.

I don't know what to do
I'm lost when it comes to how strong my love is for you.

I'm so in love with you, baby
But one thing I know for sure is that I'm completely in love with you.

Baby, they say I work too hard
Some people think I work too hard on my love for you.

Not really, when it comes to lovin' you
But I don't think it's quite enough when it comes to my love for you.

You've got my overtime, you bring me peace of mind
Because you bring me so much joy and peace of mind, I'm willing to give you more than just what's expected of me.

And there's so much more I'd like to do
There's so much more I want to give you because of how much I love you.

I only wanna find the love my heart's been searchin' for
All I've ever wanted is to find the love that my heart has been searching for, and I believe that I've found it in you.

I'd climb most every mountain swim from shore to shore
I'm willing to do anything and go anywhere just to be with you.

Just to feel the soft caress from your warm embrace
The only thing I want is to feel the love and warmth from your embrace.

In this ocean of love, no one can take your place
Because of how much I love you, there's no one else in this world that could ever take your place.

I'm running out of time
But sometimes it feels like time is running out for us, and I just want to love you while I can.

I'm 'bout to lose my mind
Because of how strongly I feel about you, sometimes it feels like I'm going insane.

All my friends keep telling me to let you go
My friends keep telling me that I should let you go because of how intense my love is for you.

Between the two of us how could they ever know
But they could never understand the love that we share between just us two.

About the love you been givin'?
They could never comprehend the amount of love that you give me.

Seems some people like to live their life so very close
Some people prefer to keep their life very close and private.

I like to let go sometime, so I can flow with the time
But I like to let go sometimes and just go with the flow of things.

I've done made up my mind, you're the only one for me
But no matter what anyone else says, I've made up my mind that you are the only one for me.

Uh, the bottom may be deep
Even though the bottom may seem deep and scary, I'm still willing to take the plunge for you.

But your love, so very sweet
Because your love is so sweet, it's worth the risk for me.

Spinnin', fallin'
Sometimes my love for you makes me feel like I'm spinning out of control and falling endlessly.

People, aah, people
And yet people still try to tell me what to do and how to feel.

Love's callin', I'm fallin'
But my love for you feels like a calling and I always end up falling deeper and deeper each day.

S-O-S-O-S-O-S-O-S
Sometimes it feels like I need help to rescue me from the depths of my love for you.
