This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
(Chris Farren/Jeffrey Steele/Larry Park)
When it comes to love I?ve had my doubts
But when you walked in my heart checked out
And like a schoolboy crush
I knew it when we touched
I?m already loving you too much
Mind and body, heart and soul
You came in and took control
And, oh what a rush
This is powerfull stuff
I?m already loving you too much
Too much, I?m already falling too fast
Too much, It?s too late for me to turn back
I can?t stop this love that we?ve started
Too much, I?m already falling too fast
Too much, It?s too late for me to turn back
I can?t stop this love that we?ve started
Who knows where I?ll go from here
I?m too far gone to see it clear
So my heart I?ll have to trust
And hope that it?s enough
'Cause I?m already loving you
There?s nothing left for me to do
I?m already loving you too much
Already loving you too much
