Album:
Try A Little Love
Be nice to her whenever you can
 and when you cross the street
 always, always hold her hand
 you'll find out, O, just a little love
 goes a long way


 so, smile at her
 when she does something wrong
 always be there to pick her up
 and to make her strong
 you'll find out a little love, o-o-o
 a little love goes a long, long way


 If you be kind, sometimes she'll be blind
 to the wrong things that you might do
 if you treat her good
 the way that you should
 she'll see the goodness in you


 so, be sweet to her and gentle too
 then you will find out what
 just a little, a little love can do
 you'l find out that a little love goes a long way


 if you treat her kind, sometimes she'll be blind
 to the wrong things
 the wrong things you might do
 if you treat her good
 the way that you should
 she'll see the goodness in you


 so, be sweet to her and gentle too
 and you'll find out what
 a little love can go
 you'l find out, find out, find out, a little love can go a long, long way
