Early in the Morning
Turner Tina & Ike Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just a little lovin'
Early in the mornin'
Beats a cup of coffee
For starting off the day
 
Just a little lovin'
When the world is yawnin'
Makes you feel wake up feeling
Good things are coming your way
 
This old world
Wouldn't be half as bad
It wouldn't be half as sad
If each and everybody in it had, yeah
 
Just a little lovin'
Early in the mornin'
That little extra somethin'
To kinda see them through
 
Nothing turns the day on
Really gets it dawnin'
Like a little bit of lovin'
From some lovin' someone like you
 
This old world
Wouldn't be half as bad
It wouldn't be half as sad
If each and everybody in it had
 
Just a little lovin'
Early in the mornin'
(Just a little lovin')
(When the world is yawnin')
Just a little bit of lovin' ah
Oh, in the morning
Nothing turns the day on
Really gets it dawnin'




Make a little bit of lovin'
It's so good, it's so good

This was co-written by Bobby Darin? Mr. Darin was a hell of a talent into different music but I would never have
associated him with this song. Ike's rockin' and Tina is on the restrained side, both sounding great.

Bobby must've bought the copyright.... this song is older than he was.
