Mama went out in the city And papa's working late again She's all alone in her dusty room looking for joy in any place she can
He tells her that he loves her mama But all they ever do is fight If that's the only love she sees, then do you think she's gonna get it right? Do you think she's gonna get it right?
Well the pain don't stop when you walk out the door She needs you now more than ever before It's been a long time since you've been there to dry her eyes Look in her eyes, it's no surprise She can't get along, she doesn't know what's right or wrong Well you can give a little girl anything she'd ever want But what she needs is a little love
Every day she's lonely Every day's the same When after school she sits at home while the others go out to play
And time's not gonna change her So you've got no time to lose The only way to save that girl is if the change come from you Oh, it's gotta come from you
'Cause the pain don't stop when you walk out the door She needs you now more than ever before It's been a long time since you've been there to dry her eyes Look in her eyes, it's no surprise She can't get along, she doesn't know what's right or wrong Well you can give a little girl anything she'd ever want But what she needs is a little love
Oh, oh, just a little love Come on, a little love
You gotta love her, and hold her And teach her everything you know A little love, just a little love
Oh, a little love A little love
A little love Gotta love that girl like you never loved before And one day, she'll love you in return
She'll love you, and hold you And teach you everything she knows A little love Just a little love
