A Little Love

[Verse 1]
Mama went out in the city
And papa's working late again
She's all alone in her dusty room looking for joy in any place she can

He tells her that he loves her mama
But all they ever do is fight
If that's the only love she sees, then do you think she's gonna get it right?
Do you think she's gonna get it right?

[Chorus]
Well the pain don't stop when you walk out the door
She needs you now more than ever before
It's been a long time since you've been there to dry her eyes
Look in her eyes, it's no surprise
She can't get along, she doesn't know what's right or wrong
Well you can give a little girl anything she'd ever want
But what she needs is a little love

[Verse 2]
Every day she's lonely
Every day's the same
When after school she sits at home while the others go out to play

And time's not gonna change her
So you've got no time to lose
The only way to save that girl is if the change come from you
Oh, it's gotta come from you

[Chorus]
'Cause the pain don't stop when you walk out the door
She needs you now more than ever before
It's been a long time since you've been there to dry her eyes
Look in her eyes, it's no surprise
She can't get along, she doesn't know what's right or wrong
Well you can give a little girl anything she'd ever want
But what she needs is a little love

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, just a little love
Come on, a little love

You gotta love her, and hold her
And teach her everything you know
A little love, just a little love

Oh, a little love
A little love

A little love
Love her, love her, love that girl like you never loved before
And one day, she'll love you in return

She'll love you, and hold you
And teach you everything she knows
A little love
Just a little love
