Lil' Darlin'
Musikjury Titel Nr. 4 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't need no palace paved with gold
Don't need more cash than banks can hold
When I get to feelin' a feelin'
For something there ain't too much of
My sweet lil' darlin' gives me her love

Don't catch me chasin' round at night
I'm not impressed by glamour sights
Lil' darlin' may not be as pretty




As some other gals you can see
But my lil' darlin' only loves me
