Read in the paper nearly everyday
People breaking up and just walking away from love
And that's wrong don't you know that's wrong
A happy little home comes up for sale because two fools half tired and failed
To get along and you know that's wrong
A man hurts a woman and a woman hurts a man
And neither one of them try to love and understand
And take it with a grain of salt

A little bit of love is better than no love even sad love's better than no love
Even bad love is better than no love at all
A little bit of love is better than no love even bad love's better than no love
Any kind of love is better than no love at all

No love at all is a poor old man standin' on the corner with his hat in his hand
And thare's no place to go, and he's feeling low
No love at all is a child in the street dodging traffic and a begging to eat
On the tennament row and that's a rough row to hoe

No love at all is a scared young girl, standin' on the bridge on the edge of the world
And it's a pretty short fall
A little bit of love is better than no love
A little bit of love is better than no love
