[English]

You're just another recovering heart

I wasn't even gonna try

You wouldn't even give it time

Could be so easy, you make it hard

Don't think about it all too much

My love is gonna be enough

You're so close now

And I know now

You gotta give me just a little of your love, baby

And I'll try

You gotta give me just a little of your love, baby

And I'll try

You gotta give me just a little of your love, baby

And I'll try

You gotta give me just a little of your love, give me just a little of your love

Don't it feel like that night was from a dream

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

I've never felt nothing like that

Looking at you, looking right back

You say nothing is ever as good as it seems

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Stop running your mouth again

Cuz' you know I'm gonna give it right back

You're so close now

(Don't let me down)

So don't let me down

You gotta give me just a little of your love, baby

And I'll try

You gotta give me just a little of your love, baby

And I'll try

You gotta give me just a little of your love, baby

And I'll try

You gotta give me just a little of your love

Give me just a little of your love

Oh, with a little strength baby

Oh, I'll never let you down

With a little love, a little love, a little love, a little love

Give me just a little of your love, baby

You gotta give me just a little of your love, baby

You gotta give me just a little of your love, baby

You gotta give me just a little of your love

Give me just a little of your love

Give me just a little of your love

Give me just a little of your love

Give me just a little of your love

Give me just a little of your love

Just a little of your love

You gotta give me just a little of your love

Give me just a little of your love

You gotta give me just a little of your love
