– “Too Much” is a #1 song most notably recorded in a hit version by Elvis Presley and published by Elvis Presley Music in 1956. It was written by Bernard Weinman and Lee Rosenberg.

About The Song
– Released as a single, Presley’s “Too Much” reached number one on both the Cashbox and Billboard sales charts and went to number three on the R&B chart. The single peaked at number two on the then-named Top 100 chart, the main Billboard pop chart.
– Whenever Elvis Presley’s “Greatest Hits” have been gathered into a collection for vinyl or CD release, “Too Much” has almost always been included. Its chart and sales successes certainly justify it a place alongside Presley’s other hits of the fifties. Still, it’s a recording that probably always will be seen as a “little sister” in the string of colossal hit records Elvis Presley fed into the stream of American pop culture during the years of 1956 and 1957.

Lyric
Well, honey, I love you too much
I need your lovin’ too much
Want the thrill of your touch
Well gee, I can’t love you too much
You do all the livin’
While I do all the givin’
Cause I love you too muchWell, you spend all my money too much
I have to share you honey, too much
When I want some lovin’, you’re gone
Don’t you know you’re treatin’ your daddy wrong
Now you got me started
Don’t you leave me broken-hearted
Cause I love you too muchI need your lovin’ all the time
Need your huggin’, please be mine
Need you near me, stay real close
Please, please, hear me, you’re the most
Now you got me started
Don’t you leave me broken-hearted
Cause I love you too muchToo much
Every time I kiss your sweet lips
I can feel my heart go flip flip
I’m such a fool for your charms
Take me back baby in your arms
Like to hear you sighin’
Even though I know you’re lyin’
Cause I love you too muchI need your lovin’ all the time
Need your huggin’, please be mine
Need you near me, stay real close
Please, please, hear me, you’re the most
Now you got me started
Don’t you leave me broken-hearted
Cause I love you too much
