give a little, take a little, 
pray a little give a little, 
you know you`ve got to take a little, 
just one more time pray a little, to make it happen

and i`d swear, i`d cross the road 
but you`d avoid me please tell me, 
why it ain`t fair, i`d call you up but you won`t answer just no reply 

too blind to see the ache inside 
so have a heart i`m begging you give a little, take a little, pray a little 
say you want to give a little, you know you`ve got to take a little, just one more time pray a little, 
to make it happen say you want me, girl 

somehow with every chance i`ll make you happy 
you won`t believe sing out loud 
with each and every waking moment you`ll fill my need 
too blind to see the ache inside so have a heart i`m begging you 

give a little, take a little, pray a little say you want to give a little, 
you know you`ve got to take a little, 
just one more time pray a little,
to make it happen say you want me, girl say you want me,
girl and wait and see too blind to see that ache inside so have a heart, i`m begging you 

say you want me

give a little, take a little, pray a little say you want to give a little, 
you know you`ve got to take a little, just one more time pray a little, 
to make it happen say you want me, girl
