[English]

All I need is a little love in my life

All I need is a little love in the dark

A little but I'm hoping it might kick start

Me and my broken heart

I need a little loving tonight

Hold me so I'm not falling apart

A little but I'm hoping it might kick start

Me and my broken heart, yeah

Shotgun, aimed at my heart, you got one

Tear me apart and then some

How do we call this love? (whoa-oh-oh-oh)

I tried, to run away but your eyes

Tell me to stay, oh why

Why do we call this love? (whoa-oh-oh-oh)

It seems like we've been losing control

Somebody tell me I'm not alone when I say

All I need is a little love in my life

All I need is a little love in the dark

A little but I'm hoping it might kick start

Me and my broken heart

I need a little loving tonight

Hold me so I'm not falling apart

A little but I'm hoping it might kick start

Me and my broken heart

Maybe some part of you just hates me

You pick me up and play me

How do we call this love? (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)

One time, tell me you need me tonight

To make it easy, you lie

And say it's all for love (whoa-oh-oh-oh)

It seems like we've been losing control

Somebody tell me I'm not alone when I say

All I need is a little love in my life

All I need is a little love in the dark

A little but I'm hoping it might kick start

Me and my broken heart

I need a little loving tonight

Hold me so I'm not falling apart

A little but I'm hoping it might kick start

Me and my broken heart

Whoa, whoa

Me and my broken heart

Whoa, whoa

Me and my broken

Yeah, yeah, yeah (Me and my broken)

(Broke this love) Yeah, yeah, yeah (How do we call this)

It's just me

It's just me

It's just me

Me and my broken heart

All I need is a little love in my life

All I need is a little love in the dark

A little but I'm hoping it might kick start

Me and my broken heart

I need a little loving tonight

Hold me so I'm not falling apart

A little but I'm hoping it might kick start

Me and my broken heart
