Just a little lovin' will go a long way
And you'll make me happy the rest of my days
Put your arms around me, then I'll be your slave
'Cause just a little lovin' will go a long way
Ever since time began, love has ruled the world
Eve and Adam set the pace and started in a whirl
I met you and now I know that you're the one for me
Come on back and you will plainly see
That just a little lovin' will go a long way
And you'll make me happy the rest of my days
Put your arms around me, then I'll be your slave
'Cause just a little lovin' will go a long way
I don't believe you really know how much that I love you
If you did you'd come on back and make my dreams come true
Your eyes, your lips, your loving kisses seem to linger yet
I'll forgive but please don't you forget.
That just a little lovin' will go a long way
And you'll make me happy the rest of my days
Put your arms around me, then I'll be your slave
'Cause just a little lovin' will go a long way

As recorded by DEAN MARTIN:
(Just a little lovin' will go a long way....long, long way)
Just a little lovin' will go a long way
And you will make me happy the rest of my days
Put your arms around me, then I'll be your slave
'Cause just a little lovin' will go a long way
(Little lovin', go a long way)
(Make me happy, the rest of my days)
(Arms around me, be your slave)
(Little lovin', go a long, long way)
(Just a little lovin') Will go a long way
And you will make me happy (Make me happy)
Oh, the rest of my days (Rest of my days)
Put your arms around me (Arms around me)
Then I'll be your slave (Be your slave)
'Cause just a little lovin' will go a long way
(Just a little lovin') Will go a long way (Go a long, long way)
