From you, baby
I wanna show you what I've got for you
For you, baby
I'm gonna give you what you give to me
Give you, baby
I've got to get a little love from you
I've got to get a little love from you (Aha)
From you, baby (I want you, you, you, you, you, you, you)
I've got to get a little love from you (Aha)
Give it to me
Baby, I saw your face and knew you were the one
We could be together making love and having fun, oh
Baby, I have love to give you every night and day
Please, don't you turn around and send your love away
Got to get a little love
Got to get a little love
Got to get a little love
Got to get a little love from you, love from you
Love from you, love from you
I've got to get a little love from you (Aha)

Baby, look over here it's time for you to see
What I can do for you and honey what you can do for me, oh
Baby, now don't be shy it's gonna be alright
Trust your heart and be with me tonight

The lyrics of Patrick Cowley's "Get a Little" seem to express the desire for reciprocal love and affection. The persona vocalizes the need to receive some love and attention from the love interest, who appears to be hesitant or possibly not rewarding the persona's gestures of affection. The persona wants to showcase their love to the love interest and promises to reciprocate by giving them as much or even more love. The persona, therefore, pleads for the love of the interest not to be sent away but, instead, reciprocated. The vocals of the song are upbeat and exude excitement, mirroring the feeling of falling in love for the first time.
