[English]

If yer always tryin' to get to the top

You don't get to the bottom of nothin'!

Then you're gone before you know it;

You'd better stop! (STOP!)

Learn a little givin' and lovin'

It's been done before

C'mon, do it again!

Coz if it's good

Then you should share it round

What's the use of keeping

All the good things that you've found to yourself?

Learn a little, learn a little

Learn a little givin'

Learn a little, learn a little

Learn a little givin' and lovin'

You don't gotta keep no other man down

For you to get up

There's no need to worry

Just don't give away your self-respect

Coz if it's all you've got left

The rest don't really matter now anyway honey!

But give away love (GIVE IT!)

And give it for free

No strings attached

Just don't ask for it back

...

Learn a little, learn a little

Learn a little givin'

Learn a little, learn a little

Learn a little givin' and stop!

Givin! Learn a little givin'

It's been done before

C'mon do it again!

Learn a little, learn a little

Learn a little givin' and lovin'

...
