"Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe" is a song written, recorded, and produced by American musician Barry White. Released in June 1974 as the first single from his third album, Can't Get Enough (1974), the song topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard R&B charts.[2] It became one of White's signature tunes and achieved gold record status in the US. It was also his second American chart-topper, after "Love's Theme".

The record begins with White speaking the first few lines over the intro music, "I've heard people say that too much of anything is no good for you, Baby. But I don't know about that."[3] White performed this song live on two TV shows: The Midnight Special in 1974, and on Soul Train on May 24, 1975.[4]
