Be nice to her whenever you can

and when you cross the street

always, always hold her hand

you'll find out, O, just a little love

goes a long way



so, smile at her

when she does something wrong

always be there to pick her up

and to make her strong

you'll find out a little love, o-o-o

a little love goes a long, long way



If you be kind, sometimes she'll be blind

to the wrong things that you might do

if you treat her good

the way that you should

she'll see the goodness in you



so, be sweet to her and gentle too

then you will find out what

just a little, a little love can do

you'l find out that a little love goes a long way



if you treat her kind, sometimes she'll be blind

to the wrong things

the wrong things you might do

if you treat her good

the way that you should

she'll see the goodness in you



so, be sweet to her and gentle too

and you'll find out what

a little love can go

you'l find out, find out, find out,  a little love can go a long, long way
