"I'm Gonna Love You Too" is a song by American New Wave band Blondie. It featured on the band's 1978 album "Parallel Lines" and was also released as a single in September 1978. The song was originally recorded by Buddy Holly in 1958 and included on his self titled second album, "Buddy Holly", and was also released as a single. The song was written by Joe B. Mauldin, Niki Sullivan, both members of Holly's band The Crickets, and Norman Petty, Holly's first manager and also his recording engineer.

Blondie's cover version of the song, recorded some twenty years after the original, was chosen as the lead single by Chrysalis Records to promote "Parallel Lines" in the US. The biggest hit from the band's previous album "Plastic Letters" was their cover of Randy and The Rainbows' "Denise". This however turned out to be a major miscalculation by the record company—"I'm Gonna Love You Too" never charted in the US. The song was eventually released as a single in a few other countries in late 1979 as the fifth or sixth single from "Parallel Lines"—after "Picture This", "Hanging On The Telephone", "Heart of Glass", "Sunday Girl" and "One Way or Another" had completed their run in the charts and then became a Top 10 hit in the Netherlands. In 2007, a rare home video of Paul McCartney singing an acoustic version of this song was put on the chronology menu of the first disc of his latest DVD, "The McCartney Years".
