Give A Little Lyrics

Ooh let me tell ya babe

I'm so sick and so tired

Something in this life must change

yes, change it is required

I've gone and scrapping for those nickels

and those dimes

But that silver just won't do for me if I want to survive well

But I have found the truth

Low and in depths of despair

If wealth and joy go hand in hand

The changing must start here

Do da doo da do

Ay ay

Speaking in tongues like what's a thousand or million?

Meanwhile catch me rain-dancing underneath the beating sun

Cut up your lips taking sips from a diamond cup

and all my teeth be rotting out 'cause I can't get enough

You may never know the truth

Your mind's made up of dusty jewels

And you call me the fool

But I stay richer than you

Do da doo da do

Ay ay

Oooh

Enlightened individual

You don't have to be poor

Don't you be poor anymore

Everybody, everybody's got the same old needs

So won't you help me

Help our brother up off his knees

He's easy

Give a little, give a little and it'll come back to you

Just trust me and give a little

You might feel a little too

Ay ay

Oooh

Enlightened individual

You don't have to be poor

Don't you be poor

Don't you be poor anymore

Everybody everybody's got the same old needs

HEY

Now won't you help me

Help our brother, brother, brother up off his knees

Do da doo da do

Ay ay

Give a little

Give a little

Give a little

Give a little

Trust me it'll come back to you

Trust me you'll feel a little too

Give a little

Give a little

Give a little

G-g-g-g-give a little

What harm's it gonna do

If you give a little

And ya give a little too
