Stranger livin' in my house I'm writing this letter to you

There's a few odds and ends in my house that I neglected to do

Take care of the little things I'm depending on you

And love my sweet baby I neglected her too

The garden I planted needs water the house needs paintin' outside

The yard could stand a little mowin' each time that I pass by

Take care of the little things I neglected to do

And love my sweet baby I neglected her too

A washing machine's out of water by the way the car payment's due

As long as my roof's over your head as long as you're wearing my shoes

Take care of the little things I neglected to do

And love my sweet baby I neglected her too

And if my baby gets lonesome and calls my name in the night

Whispers sweet nothings tenderly and gently hold her tight

Take care of the little things I neglected to do

And love my sweet baby I neglected her too

And love my sweet baby I neglected her too
