The song begins with a brief instrumental solo performed by [[The Love Unlimited Orchestra]], the instrumentals are repeated while White speaks romantic words to his apparent love interest, this style is also used in his version of "[[Just the Way You Are (Billy Joel song)|Just the Way You Are]]" and Barry's other contemporary ballads. White then begins the song's first verse, after completing his vocals he repeats the title as a chorus. The song then ends with an extended instrumental set consisting of a flute, drums, violin, a bass guitar, and White's own piano playing as White continues to speak romantic words and later improvising vocals towards the end of the song. The song ends with a fade similar to traditional ballads of the same type.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-joK7DNsGw |title=YouTube |publisher=[[YouTube]] |date= |accessdate=2016-10-08}}{{cbignore}}{{Dead Youtube links|date=February 2022}}</ref>

==Influence and reception==
The romantic lyrics used in the song helped craft White's sexual persona, and the unusual orchestral combination of instruments in an R&B song influenced the disco sound along with White's other mainly instrumental songs. I've Got So Much To Give was heavily acclaimed by Allmusic who felt it was obvious why the album reached the top of the R&B charts, despite the fact I've Got So Much To Give followed a formula similar to White's past songs they stated "the novelty of White's approach, coupled with the universality of his subject matter, ensured that there was no sense of having heard it all before." In a play written by Mark Frank (included in the book ''A Collection of Plays Written'' by Mark Frank), one of the main protagonist transforms himself into Barry White and performs the song.<ref name="google1">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8LwIxoJTmeMC&q=Barry+White+I%27ve+Got+So+Much+To+Give&pg=PA169 |title=A Collection of Plays by Mark Frank |author=Mark Frank |page=169 |date= July 2005|isbn=9780595358458 |accessdate=2016-10-08}}</ref> The song is often used in romantic novels and films.<ref name="google1"/>
