[Intro]
Just a little love (Ooh baby)
Before my life is gone
Just a little love

[Verse 1]
Every flower needs a little water
Before it can bloom
Every bit of darkness needs some sunshine
To brighten up the gloom

[Pre-Chorus]
Every lonely heart needs a little love
To keep it beating strong
And all I want is a little loving
Before my life is gone

[Chorus]
Just a little love (Baby, baby)
Before my life is gone

[Verse 2]
Every rainbow needs a little color
To brighten up the day
Every baby robin needs some teaching
Before he can fly away
[Pre-Chorus]
Every lonely heart needs someone to love
To keep its purpose strong
And all I want is someone to love me
Before my life is gone

[Chorus]
Just a little love (Baby, please)
Before my life is gone

[Bridge]
Every lonely man needs a loving woman
To keep his purpose strong
And all I need is someone to love me
Before my life is gone

[Outro]
Just a little love (Mmm, somebody love me)
Before my life is gone (Oh my)
Just a little love (I need somebody)
Before my life is gone (Mhm)
