People Breakin' Up And Just Walkin' Away From Love And That's Wrong

That's So Wrong

 

A Happy Little Home Comes Up For Sale

Because Two Fools Have Tried And Failed To Get Along

And Ya Know That's Wrong

 

A Man Hurts A Woman And A Woman Hurts A Man

When Neither One Of Them Will Love And Understa-a-a-a-and

And Take It With A Grain Of Salt

Oh, Now Believe That

 

A Little Bit Of Love Is Better Than No Love

Even The Bad Love Is Better Than No Love

And Even The Sad Love Is Better Than No Love At A-l-l

Got To Believe That

A Little Bit Of Love Is Better Than No Love

Even The Bad Love Is Better Than No Love

And Any Kind Of Love Is Better Than No Love At All

 

Nah-nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah

 

No Love At All Is A Poor Old Man

Standin' On The Corner With His Hat In His Hand

And No Place To Go, He's Feelin' Low

No Love At All Is A Child In The Street

Dodgin' Traffic And Beggin' To Eat On A Tenement Row

And That's A Long Row To Hoe

No Love At All Is A Troubled Young Girl

Standin' On A Bridge At The End Of The Wor-or-or-or-ld

And It's A Pretty Short Fall

Now People Believe Me

 

A Little Bit Of Love Is Better Than No Love

Even The Bad Love Is Better Than No Love

And Even The Sad Love Is Better Than No Love At A-l-l

Got To Believe That

A Little Bit Of Love Is Better Than No Love

Even The Bad Love Is Better Than No Love

And Any Kind Of Love Is Better Than No Love At All

 

Nah-nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah

Oh You Got To Believe Me

 

A Little Bit Of Love Is Better Than No Love

Even The Bad Love Is Better Than No Love

And Even The Sad Is Better Than No Love At A-l-l

Got To Believe Me

A Little Bit Of Love Is Better Than No Love

Even The Bad Love Is Better Than No Love

And Any Kind Of Love Is Better Than No Love At All

Got To Believe Me

A Little Bit Of Love Is Better Than No Love

Even The Bad Love Is Better Than No Love

And Any Kind.
