A LITTLE LOVIN'
(Neil Sedaka / Phil Cody)

Neil Sedaka


Mama raised me to be a man
Told me, son ya have to understand
Learn to get while the gettin's good
And bring it back to the neighborhood

And I swear, I was there, tell me why should I lie
I just wanna say, a little lovin' goes a long long way

Uncle Henry and cousin Grace
Used to weekend at our place
Grace and I would go behind the barn
We almost burned the damn thing down

And I swear, I was there, tell me why should I lie
I just wanna say, a little lovin' goes a long long way

Oooh! I need your lovin', just a little lovin'
I need your lovin', just a little lovin'
A little lovin' each and every day
A little lovin' goes a long long way, long way...

I knew a woman from New Orleans
Her old man used to treat her mean
And she would come to me for sympathy
Southern comfort and ecstasy

And I swear, I was there, tell me why should I lie
I just wanna say, a little lovin' goes a long long way
Do it now!

Oooh! I need your lovin', just a little lovin'
I need your lovin', just a little lovin'
A little lovin' each and every day
A little lovin' goes a long long way now

I need your lovin', just a little lovin'
I need your lovin', just a little lovin'
A little lovin' each and every day
A little lovin' goes a long long way
