"I've Been Loving You Too Long"
Jerry Butler/Otis Redding

His gritty vocals and heart-wrenched delivery in this soulful tune add intimacy to the song's universal theme: it's the plea of a lover to the loved one who's leaving. Redding's extended (almost twice as long) live performance of the song at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, just months before his death, is regarded by many as Redding's best recording of "I've Been Loving You Too Long."

I've been loving you too long to stop now

There were time and you want to be free
My love is growing stronger, as you become a habit to me
Oh I've been loving you a little too long
I dont wanna stop now, oh
With you my life,
Has been so wonderful
I can't stop now

There were times and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger as our affair [affair] grows old
I've been loving you a little too long, long,
I don't want to stop now
oh, oh, oh
I've been loving you a little bit too long
I don't wanna stop now
No, no, no

Don't make me stop now
No baby
I'm down on my knees Please, don't make me stop now
I love you, I love you,
I love you with all of my heart
And I can't stop now
Don't make me stop now
Please, please don't make me stop now
Good god almighty I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you in so many different ways...
I love you in so many different ways....
