Just  a  little   lovin', early in the mornin';
Beats a   cup of coffee     for startin' off     the     day.
Just   a   little   lovin',      when the world is    yawn-in', 
makes you wake   up   feel-in'   good   things,
are com-ing       your    way..
This old     world          wouldn't   be   half       as   bad,
it   would-n't   be  half         as    sad, 
if   each    and   ev-'ry     bod-y    in    it    had
Just  a  little   lovin',    early in the mornin';
A   lit - tle     ex   -   tra  some-thin'    to   kind-a- see  them  through.
Noth - in'   turns    th              day      on,
real - ly   gets   it     dawn - in',  like  a   lit - tle  bit   of   lov - in'
from   some     lov    -     in'   some-one      like     you.

This old     world             wouldn't   be   half       as   bad,
it   would-n't    be   half         as    sad, 
if   each    and   ev-'ry     bod-y    in    it    had

Just  a   little    lovin',    early  in  the  mornin';
