I see it in the paper nearly everyday people breaking up and just walking away from love and that's wrong, that's so wrong
A happy little home comes up for sale because two fools half tired and failed to get along 
And you know that's wrong
A man hurts a woman and a woman hurts a man and neither one of them won't love and understand
And take it with a grain of salt

But I believe that a little bit of love is better than no love
Even a sad love's better than no love, even a bad love is better than no love at all
A little bit of love is better than no love
Even a sad love's better than no love, any kind of love is better than no love at all

No love at all is a poor old man standing on the corner with his hat in his hand and there's no place to go 
And he's feeling low
No love at all is a child in the street dodging traffic and a begging to eat on the tenement row 
And that's a rough row to hoe
No love at all is a troubled young girl standing on the bridge on the edge of the world
And it's a mighty short fall

But I believe that a little bit of love is better than no love
Even a sad love's better than no love, even a bad love is better than no love at all
A little bit of love is better than no love
Even a sad love's better than no love, any kind of love is better than no love at all

March out with love to the beat of the drum
Give out your love got to give it to someone
Spread a little joy, spread a little sunshine
Give a little kindness, spread a little goodness, come on people, try it one time, yeah

A little bit of love is better than no love
Even a sad love's better than no love, even a bad love is better than no love at all
A little bit of love is better than no love
Even a sad love's better than no love, any kind of love is better than no love at all
