Little Things
The Vamps Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every little thing you do to me,
makes my heart beat
And then it rocks a little bit, rolls a little bit
Ah yeah, oh yeah
Every brand new day, the things you do,
they make me say
I gotta give a little bit, to get a little bit,
love a little bit
To live a little bit, ah yeah, oh yeah

Every little thing you do to me,
makes my heart beat
And then it rocks a little bit, rolls a little bit
And then it rocks, rolls

Every time your mind spins back to
another place and time
Your heart sinks into desire, into despair
To when you were a child and you were there
And what was it like, and was it any good
And should I? I should, I should, I should

Every little thing you do to me,
makes my heart beat




And then it rocks a little bit, rolls a little bit
Ah yeah, oh yeah

The phrase "love a little bit, to live a little bit" encapsulates the importance of love in a person's existence.
