how much love do you need 
before you give your love to me 
how much time before it grows 
how much love I wanna know 

what can I do what can I say 
the last thing I want is to drive you away 
how much love does it take 
how much love for heaven sake 

how much love how much love 
do I rush right in or do I hesitate 
how much love how much love how much love 

am I tryin' too hard 
give me some kind of clue 
there must be a way to get through to you 
should I come on strong or do I hesitate 
do I rush right in or do I wait 

how much love how much love 
do I rush right in or do I hesitate 
how much love how much love how much love 

I got so much love 
don't know where to begin 
I'm pleadin' with you babe 
you gotta let me in
