Little Love

Melissa Ferrick

hey there little love


yeah you took me for a ride


all the way across the country


we were waiting for our love to be realized


but you hardly ever even looked at me


yeah but you gave me no reason to be afraid


but when you finally put your hands on me


oh yeah you know I thought for sure


I thought for sure i'd been saved





so I let you in


oh I let you in


yeah then you took advantage of me


and then I let you down


oh I let you down by telling you


I thought I might be falling into something





oh yeah but you


don't want and you don't need


and you don't wait and you don't love


but you don't know yeah you don't know how I feel


so don't call me and don't write


and don't you dare tell me that you miss me tonight


cause I need someone who's going to be home when I get there


little love





now you tell me that what I do for a living


yeah well it is actually a turn off for you


cause I am just smiled at and touched


yeah and my fingers


my fingers are far too rough


and then I tell you


"you know honey, love doesn't know distance"


and then you turn around and look at me and say


"yeah but my arms do"





oh yeah but you


don't want and you don't need


and you don't wait and you don't love


but you don't know yeah you don't know how I feel


so don't call me and don't write


and don't you dare tell me that you miss me tonight


cause I need someone who's going be home when I get there


little love oh my little love





but my stomach hurts


when I hear your name


and so I just keep replaying the film


of the time when you helped me off the stage


and you know that if you think that this is game


well I am not joking


cause my heart she is tired


she is tired of being broken





so hey there


little love


yeah you took me


yeah you took me for a ride


little love


you took me for a ride
