I Can't Love You Enough
Loretta Lynn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd crawl through the desert on my hands and knees
Without a drink of water
Just for a chance of a little romance
With that coal miner's daughter

Yeah, if I was a poor girl, beggin' in the street
Livin' from crumb to crumb
I'd turn down a 12pound T-bone steak
For a boom boom boom

Love is all we feel
Spinnin' like a wheel
We let it roll
Roll, I love you so

When you walk that walk
And you talk that talk
I can't love you enough
I can't love you enough

You've got a way of makin' me say
I can't love you enough
I can't love you enough
I'm never gonna give you up
I can't love you enough

Hey Conway, you're my Mississippi man
You're really gettin' to me fast
Every time we kiss it burns so deep
It just lasts and lasts and lasts

Loretta, my love for you is strong
I wouldn't sell it for a million dollars
I know I belong here, singin' this song




With that girl from Butcher Hollow

Love is all we feel
Spinnin' like a wheel
We let it roll
Roll, I love you so

When you walk that walk
And you talk that talk
I can't love you enough
I can't love you enough

You've got a way of makin' me say
I can't love you enough
I can't love you enough

Never gonna give you up
I can't love you enough
I can't love you enough

I ain't never gonna give you up
I can't love you enough
I can't love you enough

I ain't never gonna give you up
I can't love you enough
I can't love you enough
