Little By Little
Southside Johnny/Asbury Jukes Lyrics

After the music had stopped, I still heard it playing
The memory of the music we danced to still lingers in my mind even though it has stopped playing

I moved a little closer to hear the words she was saying
I wanted to listen carefully to the words she was speaking

She said, 'I'll never break your heart
She expressed her commitment to not cause me any heartache

I'd never try to fake it
She reassures me that she is genuine in her actions and words

My love is here for you all you have to do is take it'
She declares that her love is available for me if I choose to accept it

Kisses sweeter than wine
Her kisses are delightful and pleasant just like the taste of a sweet wine

My little girl so fine
She is wonderful and amazing in every way

The night seemed to say it was right but could I believe her?
Although the atmosphere of the night suggested that everything was perfect, I wondered if her words were trustworthy

My heart said, 'it's time to go'
My instincts told me that it was time to leave

But my eyes wouldn't leave her
However, I couldn't bring myself to stop looking at her

There's always something trying to break your heart
Life often brings unexpected heartbreak and difficulties

Somebody trying to take it
Someone or something may try to take away the happiness found in love

My little girl tries so hard to help me make it
Despite the hardships, she does her best to support and encourage me

When we danced I forgot everything
Dancing with her brought me joy and allowed me to forget my worries

And whispered, 'hold me tight'
I wanted to hold her close and cherish the moment

Take a chance on what tomorrow brings
I was willing to take a risk on what the future holds between us

Won't you be mine, be mine, be mine tonight?
I asked her to be mine for the night

We walked away laughing together
We left the moment with joy and happiness together

Into the night forever and ever and ever
We took our happiness and walked away into the endless night

Now, I know I'll never break my baby's heart
I am confident that I won't cause her any heartache

I'll never try to fake it
I pledge to always be genuine in my feelings and actions

I'll give her all my love all she has to do is take it
My love for her will always be strong and she just needs to accept it

My little girl, my little girl, yea
The term 'little girl' is used affectionately to express how special she is to me

Whoa whoa so fine, my baby
I am in awe of how amazing and special she is to me
