IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS
(Sonny Bono)


Sonny & Cher - 1967





You're not the kind of guy
That make the girls all sigh
And they never turn their heads
And look when you walked by

But baby, that's okay
I love you anyway
And I'd never change or rearrange you
So stay that way

'Cause it's the little things that mean a lot
It's what you are, not what you got

Call my name and I'll come runnin'
Look at me and the clouds start sunnin'
Hold my hand and you got me goin'
Kiss my lips and my mind starts glowin'

We got a thing that won't stop cookin'
You turn me on just by lookin'
You can make me strong just by sighin'
You can break my heart just by cryin'

(Instrumental Break)

You're not the smartest man that I've ever met
And every word you ever said, I won't forget
And so I guess that's why until the day I die
When you're bad and make me sad, you're still my guy

'Cause it's the little things, oh, that mean a lot
It's what you are, not what you got

Call my name and I'll come runnin'
Look at me and the clouds start sunnin'
Hold my hand and you got me goin'
Kiss my lips and my mind starts glowin'

We got a thing that won't stop cookin'
You turn me on, baby, just by lookin'
You can make me strong just by sighin'
Break my heart, baby, just by crying
Baby!
