A Little Bit of Love
RuPaul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

times getting tough
bringin' you down, down to the ground
tears in your eyes
pain is so bad that you wanna die

well, look here
you've got a friend to shelter you
when the storm clouds come in
you'll always have me
just wait and see
our love's gonna be

a little bit of love
goes a long, long way
lifting you up to a brighter day
a little bit of love
goes a long, long way
turn it around when you up and say

everybody say love (love!)
can you feel the love? (love!)

you're down and you're out
ain't even got a damn dime to you're name
and the world is so cold
no one to hold and you wonder why

well, look here




pick yourself up and dust yourself off
you're gonna shine, you're gonna shine

This message is reinforced in the chorus when RuPaul reminds listeners that "a little bit of love goes a long, long way" and encourages them to "turn it around when you up and say everybody say love (love!) can you feel the love? (love!)"

I am serving you an ADEQUATE dress, made of MATERIAL, that is ON MY BODY. Vintage? NO. Elegance? NO. Still stuck on me? JUST ABOUT. The judges seem VAGUELY AMUSED by what is happening before them, and I am okay with that.

This is one of my favorite runway themes since "Sexy Drag Queen" or "I bring the beat". Great choice for UK's first season!

Junior Fernande

Super Queen ??

Lucie Davies
