Give A Little Bit Lyrics

Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
Give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my love to you

There's so much that we need to share
Send a smile and show you care

I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life to you
So give a little bit
Give a little bit of your time to me

See the man with the lonely eyes
Take his hand, you'll be surprised

Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I'll give a little bit of my love for you

Now's the time that we need to share
So find yourself, we're on our way back home
Going home
Don't you need to feel at home?
Oh yeah, we gotta sing

I love this song, it's awesome! Theres a pretty good cover out by the Goo Goo Dolls, but I like this one more. As for the Jesus theory, it works, but I don't think thats what they meant it to be. It was written by Roger Hodgeson when hw was a teenager, and I'm guessing its about wantong a girl, not about Jesus... but I could be wrong.

Kevin, the Goo Goo Dolls formed in the mid 80s, and "Give a Little Bit" made its first apperance on the 1977 CD, Even in the Quietest of Moments, by Supertramp. If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself. Great song.

Can't have been the 1977 CD since CDs did not exist in 1977 ;)

FreddieIsMyIdol is right, I\'ve got the original record in my hands right now, it\'s from \'77, and the Goo Goo Dolls formed in \'85. (I\'ve actually double checked it). So, I guess Kevin thinks that the Goo Goo Dolls did a better job then Supertramp. I must say, personaly, I like the Supertramp version better.

I've always wanted to know the meaning of this song, as I have plans to use an intrumental version to use when i get married. I just wanted to make sure before it gets used the song doesnt mean something strange... LOL..

Malkom, that's awesome. Congrats. I used to listen to these guys in the car with my mom when I was younger.

My favorite song by "Supertramp"! It's about a man who's in love with girl! He's shy to tell her and he's not sure if she has the same feelings for him back!

My Interpretation

Hodgson was probably enamored by a singer-girl name Betty Lou. He wanted to invite her to join the Supertramp bus and join their gigs.
