Lyric
Read in the paper nearly everydayPeople breaking up and just walking away from loveAnd that’s wrong don’t you know that’s wrongA happy little home comes up for sale because two fools half tired and failedTo get along and you know that’s wrongA man hurts a woman and a woman hurts a manAnd neither one of them try to love and understandAnd take it with a grain of saltA little bit of love is better than no love even sad love’s better than no loveEven bad love is better than no love at allA little bit of love is better than no love even bad love’s better than no loveAny kind of love is better than no love at allNo love at all is a poor old man standin’ on the corner with his hat in his handAnd thare’s no place to go, and he’s feeling lowNo love at all is a child in the street dodging traffic and a begging to eatOn the tennament row and that’s a rough row to hoeNo love at all is a scared young girl, standin’ on the bridge on the edge of the worldAnd it’s a pretty short fallA little bit of love is better than no loveA little bit of love is better than no love
