Too Far
Love's Limits: Loretta Lynn's Tale of Passion and Regret
Lyrics
I gave you everything I thought I'd wear your ring
I dedicated myself entirely, expecting a commitment symbolized by a ring
Someday on my finger
Anticipation of wearing a ring from the person I love
In love so blind I stepped to cross the line
Blinded by love, I took a step across a significant boundary
Now just memories of you linger
Only memories of you remain now
Just like a child I wished upon a star
Similar to a child making wishes, I yearned for something unattainable
Sometimes a girl in love will go too far
Love sometimes drives a person to go beyond reasonable limits
I was a crazy fool, let my heart overrule
I acted foolishly, allowing my emotions to override rational thinking
Each decision my mind was makin'
Every choice I made was influenced by my heart rather than my mind
The harm has done, there is no place to run
The damage is irreversible, and there's no escape from the consequences
You can't give me back what you've taken
You cannot undo the emotional toll and losses you've caused
I gave my all, now I don't know where you are
I gave my everything, but now I'm lost and don't know where you are
Sometimes a girl in love will go too far
Love led me to exceed reasonable boundaries
Too far, oh yes, too far
Expressing the realization of going too far in love
Sometimes a girl in love will go too far
Reiterating that love can drive someone to extremes
But I know I will smile, for in a little while
Despite the pain, I anticipate finding happiness again
I'll be holdin' somebody new
Envisioning a future with someone new
A little girl, a tiny baby girl
Anticipation of having a child, a baby girl
And I know she will look like you
Believing the new child will resemble the past love
And she'll be loved just the same way that you are
Assuming the new child will be loved in a similar way
Sometimes a girl in love will go too far
Reflecting on the tendency of a girl in love to go too far
