I don't require a lot to make it
Times are hard, but 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 alone
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
And now I've got my little someone to hold on to
