A Little Love From You

(album: New Directions - 1967)

But, of course, I'd love a fancy car
And a silver spoon to be fed with
And golden cufflinks on my sleeves
And silk sheets to lie in bed with
But if I can't have it, I won't be mad
No, if I can't have it, I won't feel bad

'Cause a little love from you
Yes, a little love from you
Yes, a little love from you
Will do
Ah, yes, it will

Well, a great big house with forty rooms
And maids in skimpy dresses
To wait upon my every need
And to clean up all my messes
But if I can't have it, I won't be mad
No, if I can't have it, I won't feel bad

'Cause a little love from you
Yes, a little love from you
Yes, a little love from you
Will do
Ah, yes, it will

Oh, yes, to me it's heavenly
To be the owner of your charms, dear
The love untold, the hidden gold
That I find when you're in my arms, dear

Oh, yes, I'd love some caviar
To spread upon my crackers
And a business just set up for me
By my daddy and his backers
But if I can't have it, I just won't fret
'Cause I've got something that's better yet

'Cause a little love from you
Yes, a little love from you
Yes, a little love from you
Will do
Ah, yes, it will

A little love will do
Ah, sweetheart, honey, my little chickadee
Ah, yes, a little love will be fine
Ah, yes, a little love
