 Much too much to bear

Your love is hard and fast

Your love will always last

If it's you I need I've got to pay the levy

Got to pay 'cause your love's too heavy on me

 And it's much too much to bear

If I ever leave you darlin'

 I hope you see

 That I really love you

But your love's too heavy on me

 And it's much too much to bear

When I make love to you

And do all the things you want me to do

You never think of me, always cry a bevy

A bevy of tears 'cause your love's too heavy on me

And it's much too much to bear

There was a time I could give all I had to you

 But my enthusiasm waned and I can't bear the pain

 Of doing what I don't want to do

Much too much to bear

Your love is hard and fast

Your love will always last

If it's you I need I've got to pay the levy

Got to pay 'cause your love's too heavy on me

And it's much too much to bear
