A little bit of love
Ru Paul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Ru Paul's 'A Little Bit of Love' is a song about love and its healing power. The lyrics are an encouragement to someone who is going through a tough time and feels like giving up. The opening lines set the tone of the song as it talks about tough times that can bring someone down to the ground, with tears in their eyes and pain that makes them want to die. The singer then reassures them that they're not alone, and they have a friend who will be there to shelter them when the storm clouds come in. The power of love is highlighted and the singer assures that their love will be enough to bring the person out of their misery.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the healing power of love. Ru Paul suggests that even a little bit of love can go a long way in lifting someone up to a brighter day. The words "turn it around when you up and say, everybody say love (love!), can you feel the love? (love!)" are particularly poignant as they encourage the listener to turn their negative feelings around and focus on the positive power of love. The last verse talks about picking oneself up and dusting oneself off, the singer reassuring the listener that they will shine again.

When everything around you feels negative
no one to hold and you wonder why
Feeling lonely and questioning why
pick yourself up and dust yourself off
Get back up and keep going
you're gonna shine, you're gonna shine
You will succeed and be great

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.
