[Intro] [Intro upright bass, cello strings ] [baritone female vocals, light reverb] A little love And a little encouragement Could go a long way Could go a long way [Verse 1] A little love A little bit more love And a little bit more encouragement Could go a long way Could go a long way Baby oh yeah [Chorus] Knowing me Knowing you Was it just bait and switch? You set that trap up So beautifully I love the time you spent telling me I'll make sure you wake up smiling Sometimes I do, sometimes I CAN I'm not disappointed with you Don't assume, don't assume like it's too difficult [Bridge] [vocal harmonies enter] A little love and a little encouragement Could go a long way Could go a long way A little love, a little bit more love A little love and a bit more encouragement Could go a long way Could go a long way Baby oh yeah [Verse 2] It won't disappoint me But you pass by like a stranger running for a train You didn't disappoint me But do I have to make an appointment two weeks in advance? Never stop, never think Once you do you might realize [layered vocal harmonies, melismatic runs] A little love and a little encouragement Could go a long way Could go a long way A little love and a little bit more love And a little, a little bit of encouragement Could go a long way Could go a long way Baby oh yeah And then you act like I didn't make time for you I didn't get the memo, I feel so confused [Outro] A little love and a little encouragement Could go a long way Could go a long way A little love, a little bit more love And a little more love And a little more encouragement Could go a long way Could go a long way [vocal fade out]
