[Chorus]
A little bit of somethin', sure beats a whole lot of nothin', baby
A little bit of somethin', sure beats a whole lot of nothin', baby
You better hold on to what you got
Because what you think is nothin' to someone else may be a lot

[Verse 1]
Girl, if you think your man ain't treatin' you right
Sometimes (Sometimes) he stays out in the streets all night
You got your clothes all packed
You got your mind made up, you wanna leave him
You better stop and reconsider, baby
There's another woman waiting to receive him

[Chorus]
A little bit of somethin', yeah, sure beats a whole lot of nothin', baby
A little bit of somethin', sure beats a whole lot of nothin', baby
You better hold on to what you got
Because what you think is nothin' to someone else may be a lot

[Verse 2]
Now, there's an old old story, and I believe it's true
You can't have your cake and eat it, too
Some women are never satisfied, they do everything in a rush
They don't seem to realize that a bird in a hand is worth three in a bush
[Chorus]
A little bit of somethin', yeah, sure beats a whole lot of nothin', baby
A little bit of somethin', sure beats a whole lot of nothin', baby
You better hold on to what you got
What you think is nothin' to someone else may be a lot

[Outro]
A little bit of somethin', sure beats a whole lot of nothin', baby
A little bit of somethin', sure beats a whole lot of nothin', baby
Hold on to what you got
Hold on
