The Hollies

A Little Thing Like Love

(Clarke/Macaulay)

Track 10 on album 'Distant Light' june 1971



Took you from Dakota from the Black Hills to the plains

I brought you up a lady and the right way to behave

Turned my pockets inside-out and not a dime was saved

and now you're trying to decide whether to go or stay



Don't let a little thing like love keep on bringing you down, my babe

or ever change the plans you made

Don't let a little thing like tears keep on turning you 'round, my babe

You're old enough to change your ways

And if you're feeling all run down, you look for the brighter lights uptown

Don't let a little thing like me ever stand in your way



Took you on a fast train across the Rio Grande

a Mexicano wedding with a Tijuana band

You blew my whole life savings and all the gold I'd panned

So if you're trying to find a way to say your sweet goodbyes



chorus



You're old enough to change your ways

And if you're feeling all run down

you look for the right to light the town

Don't let a little thing like me

ever stand in your way

Don't let a little thing like love
