She stood outside
|
In the middle of the night
|
Looking so far away
|
As far as she could see
|
Where the sky meets the land
|
Looking for answers
|
Her life is falling apart
|
Her marriage is on the rocks
|
She thinks about her mother
|
She thinks about her children
|
She thinks about the church
|
And everybody that thought
|
They had it made in heaven
|
Suddenly the comfort
|
In the house don' t mean nothing
|
All she needs is some loving
|
In her life
|
Oh God
|
|
|
Chorus:
|
Put a little love
|
In my world
|
|
|
In her mind
|
The dream is still alive
|
But if you ask me
|
I can' t tell you right now
|
It' s a losing battle
|
Her mother told her
|
About this time
|
The vows she took
|
Were a mere formality
|
But in her life
|
They became a reality
|
And by the look of things
|
She' s fighting a losing battle
|
Joleen is about to take her man
|
Why do bad things happen
|
To good people?
|
She thinks about her mother
|
She thinks about her children
|
She thinks about the church
|
Suddenly the money in the house
|
Don' t mean nothing
|
All she needs is love
|
|
|
Chorus:
|
till fade
|
|

Put a Little Love
