Just A Little Lovin'
Nelson Riddle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Early in the mornin'
Beats a cup of coffee
For starting off the day
Just a little lovin'
When the world is yawnin'
Makes you feel wake up feeling
This old world
Wouldn't be half as bad
It wouldn't be half as sad
If each and everybody in it had, yeah
Just a little lovin'
Early in the mornin'
That little extra somethin'
To kinda see them through
Nothing turns the day on
Really gets it dawnin'
Like a little bit of lovin'
From some lovin' someone like you
This old world
Wouldn't be half as bad
It wouldn't be half as sad
If each and everybody in it had
Just a little lovin'
Early in the mornin'
(Just a little lovin')
(When the world is yawnin')
Just a little bit of lovin' ah
Oh, in the morning
Nothing turns the day on
Really gets it dawnin'
Make a little bit of lovin'
It's so good, it's so good
