Lyrics

Well, the (A)big ger the cit y, well, the bright er the lights.

Big ger the dog, well, the hard er the bite.

I don’t know where you been last night but I think, ma ma, you ain’t do in’ right.

Say I know a lit tle.

I know a lit tle a bout it.

I know a lit tle.

I know a lit tle a bout it.

I know a lit tle ’bout love.

(G5)Ba by, I can (G#5)guess the rest.

Well, now (A)I don’t read to that your dai ly news ’cause it ain’t hard to fig ure why peo ple gets the blues.

They can’t dig what they can’t use.

If they’d stick to them selves they’d be much less a bused.

Say I know a lit tle.

Lord, I do know a lit tle a bout it.

I know a lit tle.

I know a lit tle a bout it.

I know a lit tle ’bout love.

(G5)Ba by, I can (G#5)guess the rest.

Well, I know a lit (G#5)tle ’bout love.
