Though you treat me unkind
Drove me out of my mind
You never thought I'd leave you
When I did you sat and cried
A little love goes a long, long way
You couldn't be nice, could you
All those nasty things you said
And you could never count
The foolish tears I've shed
A little love goes a long, long way

How do you think I felt
I'd given you my heart
It wasn't enough for you
You tore it apart
You couldn't remember
The one golden rule
A little love goes a long, long way

Like a fool I come to you
Thinking things would work our right
But it was really hopeless
You hurt me day and night
A little love goes a long, long way

How do you think I felt
I'd given you my heart
It wasn't enough for you
You tore it apart
You couldn't remember
The one golden rule
A little love goes a long, long way
