Put a little love on me
Delegation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm feeling down tonight.
What you gotta do
Is - put a little love on me
Put a little love on me.
You can set my soul alight.
Girl it's up to you to
Put a little love on me
Put a little love on me
...
Girl
You picked me up before.
Let me lean on you
You - put a litle love on me
Put a little love on me.
I can't take it anymore
You can pull me through.
So - put a little love on me.
Put a little love on me...
The lyrics to Delegation's song "Put a little love on me" express a plea for love and affection. The singer is feeling low and in need of emotional support. He reaches out to his partner, stating that all he needs is for her to put a little love on him. He believes that with her help, she can bring light back into his life and ignite his soul. He acknowledges that she has helped him in the past and asks her to continue doing so by putting some love on him. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the importance of love and its ability to bring people through difficult times.
One possible interpretation of these lyrics is that the singer is experiencing a form of emotional crisis, possibly due to a personal loss, a difficult period in his life, or a relationship issue. He turns to his partner for support, recognizing that her love and compassion can help him overcome his struggles. His request is simple and straightforward - all he needs is for her to show him some love.

What a great base line.Remember this on the Ariola label in 1979 and playing it in the clubs.Can't believe that was 35 years ago and not a mobile phone in sight neither to distract from the great soul/funk track.
Happy days!!!
