Give A Little

Ooh let me tell ya babe I'm so sick and so tired Something in this life must change yes, change it is required I've gone and scrapping for those nickels and those dimes But that silver just won't do for me if I want to survive well But I have found the truth Low and in depths of despair If wealth and joy go hand in hand The changing must start here Do da doo da do Ay ay Speaking in tongues like what's a thousand or million? Meanwhile catch me rain-dancing underneath the beating sun Cut up your lips taking sips from a diamond cup and all my teeth be rotting out 'cause I can't get enough You may never know the truth Your mind's made up of dusty jewels And you call me the fool But I stay richer than you Do da doo da do Ay ay Oooh Enlightened individual You don't have to be poor Don't you be poor anymore Everybody, everybody's got the same old needs So won't you help me Help our brother up off his knees He's easy Give a little, give a little and it'll come back to you Just trust me and give a little You might feel a little too Ay ay Oooh Enlightened individual You don't have to be poor Don't you be poor Don't you be poor anymore Everybody everybody's got the same old needs HEY Now won't you help me Help our brother, brother, brother up off his knees Do da doo da do Ay ay Give a little Give a little Give a little Give a little Trust me it'll come back to you Trust me you'll feel a little too Give a little Give a little Give a little G-g-g-g-give a little What harm's it gonna do If you give a little And ya give a little too
