Love Me a Little Bit More
Jim Reeves · Legend Lives On [2005]
Tease me a little bit, squeeze me a little bit.
Love me a little bit more
Love me a little bit, can't get enough of it,
Tell me I'm the one you adore.
I'm in a pettin' mood, you've got me hooked for good
I'm yours and that's for sure
Squeeze me a little bit, tease me a little bit,
Love me a little bit more.
Mommy warned me
I'd meet girls who'd make me feel like this
But she never mentioned these
Crazy flip-flops my heart does when we kiss.
Oh, what a shape I'm in, you've got me in a spin
Never felt this way before
You make a livin', seem just like a pretty dream
Love me a little bit more.
--- Instrumental ---
Love me a little bit, kiss me and never quit,
You know I want it that way
I dream of a honeymoon, it can't be too soon,
Just can't wait for the day.
I want to share your life, want you to be my wife
A feeling I can't ignore
Crazy 'bout your charms, want you in my arms
Love me a little bit more.
The first day when you smiled at me
You had me on your string
You got me building my dreams
Around the month of June and a wedding ring.
Love me a little bit, can't get enough of it,
I'm standing at your door
Love me all the time, say you'll be only mine
Love me a little bit more.
Mommy warned me
I'd meet girls who'd make me feel like this
But she never mentioned these
Crazy flip-flops my heart does when we kiss.
Oh, what a shape I'm in, you've got me in a spin
Never felt this way before
You make a livin', seem just like a pretty dream
Love me a little bit more...
