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
  Do all the things you want me to do
  You never think of me
  Always cry a bevy
  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
