Lyrics

[Intro]
Ah, little things mean a lot
Yeah, yeah
Little things mean a lot
Yeah, yeah, whoa, whoa
[Verse 1]
When I wanted someone to give me the world
You accepted me, and smiled, and let me know that you were my girl
And when I wanted fancy things
Gold watches, diamond rings
You gave me your hand
'Cause only you could understand, oh
[Chorus]
Little things mean a lot, appreciate what you got (Little things, yeah)
Make do with what you have, it forever will last (It forever)
Don't sit around and wait for all the great things in your life, sweetie
Little things mean, little things mean
Li-li-li-little things mean a lot, uh
[Verse 2]
Giving me the best doesn't mean giving me happiness
I'll be satisfied with anything that comes close
I don't wanna settle for less
But if I do, I must confess (Woo!)
I won't take it if it's not from your heart
[PreChorus]
Sometimes we get wrapped up in all the fancy things
Don't expect life to be perfect
It don't come with static cling, oh, little things, oh
[Chorus]
Little things mean a lot, appreciate what you got
If you give what you have, it forever will last
Don't sit around and wait for all the great things in your life, sweetie
Little things mean, little things mean
Li-li-li-li-little things mean a lot, ooh, baby
[Chorus]
Little things mean a lot, appreciate what you got (Little things, whoa, whoa, oh, oh)
Make do with what you have, it forever will last (It forever)
Don't sit around and wait for all the great things in your life, sweetie
Little things mean, little things mean
Li-li-li-li-little things mean a lot, ooh, yeah
[Bridge]
Little things mean
Hey, hey, woo! Huh
Little th-th-th-th-things
Alright, yeah
[Chorus]
Oh
Little things mean a lot, appreciate what you got (Appreciate what you have)
Make do with what you have, it forever will last (Oh, oh, oh)
Don't sit around and wait for all the great things in your life, sweetie
Little things mean, little things mean
Li-li-li-li, th-th-th-th-things
[Bridge]
Little things mean a lot
Oh, oh, oh
Little things mean a lot
[Outro]
Little things mean a lot, appreciate what you got (Alright, woo, yeah)
Make do with what you have, it forever will last (Yeah, oh)
Don't sit around and wait for all the great things in your life
Little things mean a lot
