I tried everything there was to please her, I even tried to get her off of my mind
I gave her everything that I ever had, but a little too much lovin' turned her bad
A little too much understandin' is what she wanted from me
Just a place to rest her head and let her heart be free
Yeah
Yes, she was the best love I ever had, but a little too much lovin' turned her bad
Now that she has joined all the honky-tonks, and she's out there every night just havin' her fun
I wonder if she thinks I'm really mad at her
When a little too much lovin' turned her bad
A little too much understandin' is what she wanted from me
Just a place to rest her head and let her heart be free
Yes, she was the best love I ever had, but a little too much lovin' turned her bad
Yes, a little too much lovin' turned her bad
