Lyrics
Take A Little (Give A Lot)
Verse
You're starting a new life with the one of your dreams
But how can you know that it's all it seems.
These days nothing seems to last but this is for better or worse.
You're the light of her life and she's the light of yours.
Don't stand in her light and she mustn't stand in yours.
Chorus
You gotta take a little, give a lot. Love can turn cold and love can be hot.
Take a little give a lot. Thank each day for what you've got.
Verse
Life's not easy in this modern world.
Your life and times will have you in a whirl.
Sometimes you just gotta say no and think of the better or worse.
Is it good for her life and is it good for yours?
Don't stand in her way and she mustn't stand in yours.
Chorus
You gotta take a little, give a lot. You saw it all with Mom and Pop.
Take a little give a lot. Thank each day for what you've got.
You've gotta woman by your side, standing by you every day.
You gotta let her see your pride in everything she does today, in everything she does today.
Chorus
You gotta take a little, give a lot. You saw it all with Mom and Pop.
Take a little give a lot. Thank each day for what you've got.
You've gotta an angel by your side, standing by you every day.
You gotta let her see your pride in everything she does today, in everything she does today.
