The Bigger You Love, The Harder You Fall

When you love someone dear,

They can do no wrong

But when you love too hard, girl

You sing a different song

You got to take your time

And build it slow

And get it all together, child

And watch it grow



[Chorus:]

(The bigger you love)

(The harder you fall)

Take it from me, girl

(take it from me, take it from me)

You gotta start small (small)

Oh, the bigger you love (the bigger you love)

The harder you fall (the harder you fall)

Take it from me, girl, you gotta start softly



You gotta start a love

Right from the ground

'Cause when you start from the top, girl

You can only come down

And when you give all your love

And get no return

That's the hurting way you have to try to learn



Oh, the bigger you love (the bigger you love)

The harder you fall (the harder you fall)

Take it from me, girl

(Take it from me, take it from me)

You got to start small (small)

Oh, the bigger you love (the bigger you love)

The harder you fall (the harder you fall)

Take it from me, girl

(Take it from me, take it from me)

You gotta start softly



Oh, the bigger you love (the bigger you love)

The harder you fall (the harder you fall)

Take it from me, girl

(Take it from me, take it from me)

You got to start small (small)

(The bigger you love)

(The harder you fall)

(Take it from me, take it from me)

(Softly)
