Too Much For You
Love's Warning: Too Much for Hearts to Handle
Lyrics
Oh, yeah, your love is too much baby
Expressing that the love received is overwhelming.
Your love is too much baby (oh)
Reiteration of the idea that the love is too much to handle.
That was way before
Referring to a time in the past.
'Til I laid my eyes on you (I got my eyes on you)
The speaker's focus shifted upon encountering the person being addressed.
But then the only trouble, yeah
Warning about potential trouble if the other person interferes.
If you mess with me (I'm gonna mess with you)
Reciprocal warning that there will be consequences for meddling.
I think you're bad, keep on goin'
Despite the warning, acknowledging the allure of the person.
'Cause there is no staying here for you
Indicating that there's no place for the person in the speaker's life.
'Cause you'll be in trouble if you mess with me
Reiterating the potential trouble for the person if they interfere.
I'm too much (your love is too much, baby)
Affirming that the speaker's love is too intense.
Oh I'm too much (your love is too much, baby)
Repeating the sentiment that the speaker's love is overwhelming.
Oh (your love is too much, baby)

It's too much for you
Stating that the love is too much for the person addressed.
I'ma be the fool (too much)
Acknowledging that the speaker might be perceived as a fool due to the intense love.
Try it yourself (too much)
Suggesting that the person should experience the intensity of love themselves.
Just walk around, you (too much)
Encouraging the person to walk in the speaker's shoes to understand the intensity.
You will see (too much)
Assuring that they will realize the overwhelming nature of the love.
And that's what broke her heart
Explaining that this intensity caused heartbreak.
Too off of key
Suggesting that being out of tune or off-key contributed to the heartbreak.
So go on darlin', yeah, while you still have the chance
Encouraging the person to leave while they still have the chance to avoid trouble.
Or you'll be in trouble if you mess with me
Reiterating the warning of trouble if the person interferes.
I'm too much (your love is too much, baby)
Reaffirming the overwhelming nature of the speaker's love.

Oh my love (your love is too much, baby)

It's too much for you
Restating that the love is too much for the person addressed.
Whoa, I said lover, come on and love me
Inviting the person to love the speaker.
An unkind lover
Describing the type of lover the speaker is seeking.
Come on and try me
Encouraging the person to try loving the speaker.
Now look right at me, what do you see?
Asking the person to look closely and understand the speaker.
A lot of side-looking devils
Warning about negative influences that may harm the person's soul.
Will trap your soul
Advising not to look twice to avoid experiencing sadness.
