Did Deorge mean "Love You Too", like maybe he was absent-minded and confused "too" with "to", or did he put it that way by accident; maybe he was writing the title down and someone interrupted him, and he never got around to adding that last "o" there? Or, is there a whole word missing, like maybe he was going to title it "Love You To Death" and got interrupted and never wrote the last word, or what? Drives me NUTS!!
I believe that if it was a John song no one would think twice, since he was well known for wordplay. Obviously George too was playing around. I wouldn't think for one minute he didn't do this on purpose (as opposed to making a grammar error).

Good point there. But it STILL bugs me. I guess grammar stuff like that will always bug me lol.

Perhaps it wasn't an error, perhaps he meant "I'd LOVE YOU TO come with me too"! In any case, it should really have benn called "Love To You" because that's the closest line to the title in the song!
Before George came up with the title, this song was called "Granny Smith", after the apple!

I'm sure it wasn't an error but the question is a very interesting one. Maybe, to follow The End's reasoning, he thought of calling it 'Make Love To You' which was too direct so he decided to garble it by rearanging some of the words.

LOL!
I suppose the play on words is how you read it and how it is heard if read aloud - it's two different meanings. By adding or subtracting a single letter, the sentence takes on a whole other connotation.
If you say it aloud, you automatically assume "love you too" If read aloud it means "love you to" do something.
Whatever, it's just George not being able to think of a title again!
It IS a play on words. Or perhaps more correctly, a play WITH words.
My initial remark was just a glip off the top of the head answer, partly because I was a bit incredulous anyone was bothered by it. I'm sure we all noticed it, but no one I know was ever bugged by it. That's what makes our bright big world I guess.
