Left Over Love
Brenda Lee · Other Songs - Brenda Lee
I can only stand so much
And I can't stand being by myself
Is it asking for too much to want
Someone to call my own
I got so much to give
But no one to give it to, oh, oh, oh
Why is love so hard to find
Isn't there someone else who's lonely too?
Has anybody out there got some left over love
A little your willing to share
Has anybody out there got some left over love
I need a little bit of tenderness
Now and then a warm caress
Has anybody got a little bit of love to spare?
I need sometimes just a touch
After all I'm only human
That's easy enough
If it's all your looking for
But, I finely reached the point
That love means so much more
So if there's someone like me listening
I'm just what your looking for.
Has anybody out there got some left over love
A little your willing to share
Has anybody out there got some left over love
I need a little bit of tenderness
Now and then a warm caress
Has anybody got a little bit of love to spare?
Has anybody out there got some left over love
A little your willing to share
Has anybody out there got some left over love
I need a little bit of tenderness
Now and then a warm caress
Has anybody got a little bit of love to spare?...
About Left Over Love
Brenda Lee's "Left Over Love" stands as a defining track from her early career, capturing the heartbreak and resilience characteristic of early rock and roll. Released during a pivotal era when female vocalists were redefining the genre, the song showcases Lee's distinctive contralto voice and emotional delivery, which became a hallmark of her discography. While often associated with her later work on albums like *Memphis Portrait*, the track reflects the raw, unpolished energy of her pre-fame recordings that established her reputation. The composition, rooted in traditional pop structures, resonated with audiences seeking authentic expressions of sorrow and hope. Lee's performance on this recording helped cement her status as a leading figure in the transition from doo-wop to rock and roll, influencing countless subsequent artists who valued vocal nuance and genuine emotion over polished production.
