Lyrics: Can’t Get Enough Of Your Love, Babe

I’ve heard people say that
Too much of anything is not good for you, baby
Oh no
But I don’t know about that
There’s many times that we’ve loved
We’ve shared love and made love
It doesn’t seem to me like it’s enough
There’s just not enough of it
There’s just not enough
Oh oh, babe
Oh babe

My darling I
Can’t get enough of your love, babe
Girl, I don’t know, I don’t know why
Can’t get enough of your love, babe

Lord some things I can’t get used to
No matter how I try
It’s like the more you give, the more I want
And baby, that’s no lie
Oh no, babe

Tell me, what can I say? What am I gonna do?
How should I feel when everything is you?
What kind of love is this that you’re givin’ me?
Is it in your kiss or just because you’re sweet?

Girl, all I know is every time you’re near
I feel the change
Somethin’ moves
I scream your name
Look what you got me doin’

Darling I
I can’t get enough of your love ,babe
Girl, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know why
I can’t get enough of your love, babe
Oh no, babe

Girl, if I could only make you see
And make you understand
Girl, your love for me is all I need
And more than I can stand
Oh well, babe

How can I explain all the things I feel?
You’ve given me so much, girl you’re so unreal
Still, I keep loving you more and more each time
Girl, what am I gonna do because you’ve blown my mind

I get the same old feelin’ every time you’re here
I feel the change
Somethin’ moves
I scream your name
Look what you got me doin’

Darling I
Can’t get enough of your love, babe
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know why
I can’t get enough of your love, babe

Darling I
Can’t get enough of your love, babe
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know why
I can’t get enough of your love, babe

Darling I
Can’t get enough of your love, babe
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know why
I can’t get enough of your love, babe
Oh no, babe

Baby, let me take all of my life to find you
But you can believe it’s gonna take the rest of my life to keep you

Oh no, babe
My darling I, can’t get enough of your love babe
Yeah, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know why
Can’t get enough of your love babe
Oh my darling I, can’t get enough of your love babe
Oh babe
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know why
I can’t get enough of your love babe
Oh babe

On the morning of August 16, 1977, Graceland was preparing for another ordinary day. Elvis Presley still had concerts scheduled, plans for the weeks ahead, and fans eagerly waiting to see him perform again. No one inside the mansion could have imagined that, within hours, music history would change forever. By the end of that day, the voice that had defined a generation had fallen silent, leaving millions in disbelief.

When Lisa Marie Presley was born on February 1, 1968, Elvis Presley experienced a moment unlike any standing ovation he had ever received. Priscilla Presley later recalled watching him hold their daughter for the first time. The confident performer who could captivate thousands suddenly became quiet and cautious, carefully cradling the tiny baby in his arms. In that hospital room, there was no King of Rock and Roll. There was only a new father completely overwhelmed by love.

Ask a thousand people who the most handsome man of all time is, and one name appears again and again. Elvis Presley. His appeal was never limited to one generation. From the 1950s to today, fans have been captivated not only by his striking features but by a presence that seemed impossible to imitate. Even those discovering him for the first time often find themselves asking how someone could possess such extraordinary charisma.

HOLLYWOOD NEVER CAGED THE OUTLAW WHILE HE WAS ALIVE—AND NOW, 25 YEARS AFTER HIS PASSING, THEY’RE FINALLY PUTTING WAYLON JENNINGS’ NAME ON THE SIDEWALK. Waylon Jennings never needed Hollywood’s approval. Nearly 25 years after his death, Hollywood finally came looking for him. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has selected Waylon for the Walk of Fame’s Class of 2027. Among 32 honorees, he is the only person being recognized posthumously. He joins the Recording category alongside the Ramones, Grandmaster Flash, and Sia. Sam Elliott is also part of the class, a pairing that will probably make more than a few country fans smile. Waylon was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001. He died the following year, long before Hollywood placed his name on its famous list. Now the man who spent his career refusing to play by the industry’s rules will finally have a star on Hollywood Boulevard. It is a fitting honor. The painful part is that the crowd will be there, the cameras will be there, and Waylon will not. Fans have known he belonged there for decades.

WHILE OTHER STARS PLAYED SAFE ARENAS AT HOME, TOBY KEITH SPENT HIS FORTIES AND FIFTIES WALKING STRAIGHT INTO WAR ZONES TO SING FOR TROOPS YOUNG ENOUGH TO BE HIS KIDS. In 2002, Toby Keith was 41 and one of the biggest touring acts in country music. That spring he started boarding military transport planes instead. The first trip was Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia — three thousand troops. He came back the next year. And the next. At 42, Naples and Kosovo. At 47, seventeen shows in ten days across Afghanistan. Then April 2011. He was 49. Outside Baghdad, a missile hit a third of a mile from the stage he was minutes from walking onto. At another base, four mortars landed close enough that the crew waited it out in a bunker. He went back up and played. He was 50 the next spring at Kandahar, doing it again. Eleven overseas USO tours. Eighteen countries. More than 250,000 service members — most of them nineteen, twenty. Old enough to deploy. Young enough to be his kids. In 2014, at 52, the USO gave him its Spirit of the USO Award. He said he’d seen the hole Bob Hope left behind, and joked that as hard as he tried, he couldn’t bring Marilyn Monroe. He died February 5, 2024, at 62. His father was a veteran. That’s where the songs started. The eleven trips are where the rest of him went.

TOBY KEITH CALLED IT THE STUPIDEST SONG HE EVER HEARD, YET A SILLY PLASTIC CUP BECAME HIS MOST UNFORGETTABLE FAREWELL. The “Red Solo Cup” was dismissed by critics as one of the worst country songs ever to become a hit. Toby Keith beat them to it—he called it the stupidest song he’d ever heard. He wasn’t being modest. It’s a spoken-word ode to a disposable plastic cup. It’s the only single on the whole album he didn’t have a hand in writing. Business Insider put it on a worst-of-the-decade list. He knew all of it, and he cut it anyway. Here’s why that’s not the own-goal it looks like. Keith wrote or co-wrote nearly everything he ever released. He heard this one—two sets of brothers goofing around under a fake band name—laughed until he couldn’t breathe, and grabbed it before anyone else could. Then he did something a vain man never would: he brought all four writers into the studio to sing and play on it, so the record would sound like them, not him. That’s the part people miss when they sneer at it. The song was never pretending to be art. It knew exactly what it was—a dumb, happy thing built to make a room full of strangers grin at the same time. Country has always been allowed that. Toby just never needed the song to make him look serious. Then February 2024 came, and stomach cancer took him at 62. At the CMT Awards that April, they handed red cups to the whole audience, his family in the crowd, and lifted them together. A joke about a plastic cup, and a room full of people crying into one.

FOUR MONTHS AFTER LOSING THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE, A BLIND AND WHEELCHAIR-BOUND JOHNNY CASH RECORDED SIXTY FINAL SONGS BECAUSE HE KNEW STOPPING WOULD KILL HIM. The Man in Black passed away on September 12, 2003, at age 71. The official cause was complications from diabetes. But those closest to him said the truth was simpler — he never recovered from losing June. June Carter Cash, his wife of 35 years, had died just four months earlier. By then Johnny had lost most of his vision and could barely walk. Yet before she died, June whispered something to him that he obeyed like a sacred command. He repeated her words to producer Rick Rubin days later: “You have to keep me working — because I will die if I don’t have something to do.” What followed was one of the most haunting recording sprees in music history. Sixty songs in four months. A final public performance where he read a tribute to June he had written minutes before walking onstage. And one last song — finished just 22 days before he died — about a doomed man whose dying words were “Nearer, my God, to Thee.” He wasn’t recording an album. He was saying goodbye.
