Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just a little lovin' early in the mornin'
Beats a cup of coffee for starting off the day
Just a little lovin' when the world is yawnin'
Makes you wake up feeling good things are coming your way
[Chorus]
This old world
Wouldn't be half as bad
It wouldn't be half as sad
If each and everybody in it had
[Verse 2]
(Just a little lovin') Just a little lovin' early in the mornin'
That little extra somethin' to kinda see them through
Nothing turns the day on, really gets it dawnin'
Like a little bit of lovin' from some lovin' someone like you
[Chorus]
This old world
Wouldn't be half as bad
It wouldn't be half as sad
If each and everybody in it had
[Outro]
Just a little lovin' early in the mornin'
(Just a little lovin' when the world is dawnin')
Just a little bit of lovin', ah
Oh, in the morning
Nothing turns the day on, really gets it dawnin'
Make a little bit of lovin'
It's so good, it's so good like you
