A little affection, a little care,
A little kindness is what will do.
The little intimacy you'd share
Is what will make me love you.
A little concern, a little goodness,
A little effort to show love.
A little honesty, a little fondness
Is what will make me laugh.
A little surprise, a little attention
Is all that I need for this journey.
Pure honesty and true compassion
Mean more to me than money.
Some talk about riches; others consider gold.
They all forget that it is true love that leads.
For me, these are my heart's desires, untold.
Riches are good, but these are my real needs.
