and I just take from you
And if I say that's true now
what good would that do?
And if I wanted to be funny
I could say that all the money
that you spent on me was just
from fraud
And if I wanted to be bitter
I could say that little by little
all you did for me was no good

chorus
I didn't lose your money (3 times)
Oh no your money just lost you
You brought me up this way
When just a little bit of love
could have changed my ways

Some folks help the needy
me I just help myself
And if I shared with you now
it would steadily decrease my wealth
And if I saw you on the street
with worn out shoes upon your feet
I wouldn't give you the price of a cup of tea
I know you brought me from the gutter
helped me earn my bread and butter
but I have a lousy memory

chorus

When just a little bit
and just a little bit
and just a little bit
and just a little bit
and just a little bit of love
love love love
could have changed my ways
