I don't require a lot to make it

Times are hard and I can take it

As long as I got my little someone to hold on to

I've been down and I don't mind it

What I've lost I'm sure I'll find it

As long as I got my little someone to hold on to

A little sugar to sweeten my teeth

A little girl to set me free

Hard times I will rise above

With a little help from lady love

Lady love

I've heard it said If you're strong

You can make it all along

But I've got to have my little someone to hold on to

A little sugar to sweeten my teeth

A little girl to set me free

Hard times I will rise above

With a little help from lady love

Lady love

She came along just in time

Time to ease my worried mind

Now I've got my little someone to hold on to
