Some folks think I'm greedy

and I just take from you

And if I say that's true now

what good would that do?

And if I wanted to be funny

I could say that all the money

that you spent on me was just

from fraud

And if I wanted to be bitter

I could say that little by little

all you did for me was no good



chorus

I didn't lose your money (3 times)

Oh no your money just lost you

You brought me up this way

When just a little bit of love

could have changed my ways



Some folks help the needy

me I just help myself

And if I shared with you now

it would steadily decrease my wealth

And if I saw you on the street

with worn out shoes upon your feet

I wouldn't give you the price of a cup of tea

I know you brought me from the gutter

helped me earn my bread and butter

but I have a lousy memory



chorus



When just a little bit

and just a little bit

and just a little bit

and just a little bit

and just a little bit of love

love love love

could have changed my ways
