Lyrics
Love, can’t you see I’m alone?
Can’t you give this fool a chance?
A little love is all I ask
A little kindness in the night
Please don’t leave me behind
No, don’t tell me love is blind
A little love is all I ask
And that is all
Ooh love, I’ve been searchin’ so long
I’ve been searchin’ high and low
And little love is all I ask
A little sadness when you go
Maybe you’ll need a friend
Only please don’t let’s pretend
A little love is all I ask
And that is all
I wanna spread my wings
But I just can’t fly
As a string of pearls
The pretty girls go sailin’ by
Ocean deep
I’m so afraid to show my feelings
I have sailed a million ceilings in my
Solitary room
Ocean deep
Will I ever find a lover?
Maybe she has found another
And as I cry myself to sleep
I know this love of mine I’ll keep
Ocean deep
Love, can’t you hear when I call?
Can’t you hear a word I say?
A little love is all I ask
A little feelin’ when we touch
Why am I still alone?
I’ve got a heart without a home
A little love is all I ask
And that is all
I wanna spread my wings
But I just can’t fly
As a string of pearls
The pretty girls go sailin’ by
Ocean deep
I’m so afraid to show my feelings
I have sailed a million ceilings in my
Solitary room
Ocean deep
Will I ever find a lover?
Maybe she has found another
And as I cry myself to sleep
I know this love of mine I’ll keep
Ocean deep
I’m so lonely, lonely, lonely (baby, baby)
(Ocean deep) on my own in my room (baby, baby)
I’m so lonely
(Ocean deep) I’m so lonely, I’m so lonely
This love of mine, I’ll be ocean deep
I’m so lonely, lonely, lonely
In my room, on my own
