Little Things
Tanya Tucker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before you spend your money I oughta let you know
If you want to get to me, try the little things
Don't need that mansion on top of the hill
Too many rooms with nothing to fill
You can't furnish me, with the little things
Rub my back, make me laugh
All it takes, to make my day
Is to tell me that you love me, little things
It doesn't matter what mood I'm in
I always melt when you begin whispering
All those little things
Rub my back, make me laugh
Hold me while I dream
All it takes, to make my day
Is to tell me that you love me, little things
Rainy walks, a midnight talk
Dance me on your feet
Hold me close, don't let go
All I'll ever need
Is a single rose, a kiss hello
That smile upon your face
The tender way, you say my name
Takes my breath away
Little things
Little things
hmmm Little things
The song "Little Things" by Tanya Tucker is a beautiful love song that highlights the importance of the small things that make a relationship special. The lyrics emphasize the notion that love can't be bought with expensive diamonds or gold, but can rather be gained through simple gestures and actions. Tucker explains that the little things like rubbing her back, making her laugh, holding her while she dreams and whispering sweet nothings to her are what truly make her happy. The lyrics are powerful as they evoke the idea that the small acts of love and kindness are more significant than grand gestures.
The song's chorus is catchy and drives home the message that the little things in a relationship are essential. The lyrics highlight that money can't buy love and happiness, and the words invite the listener to focus on the small things that bring joy and fulfillment in a relationship. The verse also stresses that the little things can be simple, such as a single rose, or a kiss hello, which may not seem like much, but can mean everything to the other person.
