It Ain't No Big Thing (But It's Growing)

Elvis Presley · Love Letters From Elvis

Your losing interest in me and itÂ’s showinÂ’
It ainÂ’t no big thing but itÂ’s growinÂ’
The pain of heartbreak IÂ’ve just started knowinÂ’
Well, it ainÂ’t no big thing but itÂ’s growinÂ’

Every day the hurt grows bigger than before
But IÂ’ll pretend I donÂ’t know this
But if I can hold you one day more
YouÂ’ve got the look of someone whoÂ’s goinÂ’
YouÂ’re gonna leave me and itÂ’s showinÂ’
A little tear I can feel start to flow
It ainÂ’t no big thing but itÂ’s growinÂ’

Well every day the hurt grows bigger than before
But IÂ’ll pretend I donÂ’t know this
Well, if I can hold you one day more
YouÂ’ve got the look of someone whoÂ’s goinÂ’
Well, youÂ’re gonna leave me and itÂ’s showinÂ’
A little tear I can feel start to flow
Well it ainÂ’t no big thing but itÂ’s growing
No, it ainÂ’t no big thing but itÂ’s growing
