THE LITTLE THINGS

You don't have to buy me all the gold there is in Rome
Don't have to surprise me with the most expensive home
Don't have to travel round the world for me at all
Baby, the way you smile at me is self explainable

Oh baby baby baby, I don't want much
Just say you love me now and then
And mean it is more than enough

Chorus 1:
Its just the little thing, the simple little things, babe
I know it may sound funny but
Sometimes they mean so much to me
Makes me feel secure and puts my soul at ease
Baby the little things are things that matter to me
(Hey, ooh babe, oh yeah baby, yeah darling)

Oh you don't have to be a movie star on the TV, no baby
Don't have to be a knight in shining armor to rescue me, no
Don't have to promise me the moon and stars above, darling
Just keep sure your there for me it keeps me in love

Oh baby baby baby, I don't want much
Ooh just say you love me now and then
.And mean it is more than enough

Chorus 2:
It just the little things, the simple little things, babe
I know it may sound funny but
Sometimes they mean so much to me
Makes me feel secure and puts my mind at ease
Baby the little things are things that matter to me

You don't have, to go out of your way baby
Just say, that love, will always stay darling
Oh baby, I don't, don't really want much
Cause if you really love me baby hey
That's more than enough

Chorus 3:
It's just the little things, the simple little things, babe
I know it may sound funny but
Sometimes they mean so much to me
Makes me feel secure and puts my mind at ease
Baby the little things are things that matters
Little things are things that matters (Things that matter)
A little things are things that matter to me, hey, ow
