Just a Little Bit
Animals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just want a little bit
Don't want it all
Just a little bit
Give me an eeny weeny bit
A teeny weeny bit of your love
Turn your lamps down low
Turn your lights down low
I won't let you resist
I want an eeny weeny bit
A teeny weeny bit of your love
Early in the mornin'
Well just a little bit
Around midnight
Just a little bit
I want an eeny weeny bit
A teeny weeny bit of your love
Walk with me
Just a little bit
I said talk to me
Just a little bit
I want an eeny weeny bit
A teeny weeny bit of your love
I want you to remember
To say that you'll be mine
Say you'll never leave me
Till the end of time
I want an eeny weeny bit
A teeny weeny bit of your love
I want an eeny weeny bit
A teeny weeny bit of your love
The lyrics to Animals' song Just A Little Bit are about a love affair where the singer only wants a small portion of their lover's affection. They don't want everything, just a little bit. The repetition of the phrase "eeny weeny bit" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's desire for a small, yet significant amount of love. The lyrics also suggest that the singer wants to keep their affair private, as exemplified by the lines "Turn your lamps down low / Slip me a kiss / Turn your lights down low / I won't let you resist."
The song's mood is seductive and playful, with a bluesy sound that features a harmonica solo. The music reflects the song's lyrics, both of which are focused on satisfying the singer's desire for a small but meaningful amount of love. The repeated use of the phrase "Just a little bit" underscores the song's theme of wanting something specific and tangible, rather than an overwhelming and uncertain amount.
