Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's so hard loving you

But I just can't let you go

[Verse 2]

Little darling, I love you

Little darling, I need you

Little darling, I want you

Little darling, got to have you

[Verse 3]

And if it means giving up my pride

Oh I'm gonna give it up

Give it up

There's always one who loves more than the other

I don't mind

I don't mind

[Verse 4]

I'm willing

To pay the price

Have your love at any sacrifice

[Verse 5]

Little darling, I need you

Little darling, I love you

Little darling, I want you

Little darling, got to have you

[Verse 6]

Only my pillow knows

How many tears I've cried

Only my heart knows

The awful hurt I feel inside

[Verse 7]

My life is so lonely

Waiting for you to love me only

I'm willing

Darling

[Verse 8]

I'm willing to pay the price

Have your love at any sacrifice

[Verse 9]

Little darling, I need you

Little darling, I want you

[Verse 10]

Little darling, I love you

Little darling, I need you

Little darling, I want you

Little darling, got to have you

[Verse 11]

Yeah there was a time

Way back in your life

When I was the only one

Only one

[Verse 12]

You'd better let this fool back in

Or you will be the lonely one

[Verse 13]

Darling, I love you

Little darling, I need you

Little darling, I love you

Little darling, I want you

[Verse 14]

Yeah there was a time

Way back in your life

When I was the only one

You'd better let this fool back in

Or you will be the lonely one
