Lyrics
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I'll Give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my love to you
See the man with the lonely eyes
Take his hand, you'll be surprised
So give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
So give a little bit
Give a little bit of your time to me
Now's the time that we need to share
So send a smile, we're on our way back home
Oh yea, yea yea you gotta feel it
Yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea hey
Oh
Don't you need to feel at home?
(What you need)
(What you need)
(What you need)
Oh, you gotta feel it
(What you need)
(What you need)
(What you need)
Yea you come along too
(What you need)
(What you need)
(What you need)
Oh you gotta sing
Come a long way
Tonight
So give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
So give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
Now's the time that we need to share
So send a smile, we're on our way back home
Yea come along too
(What you need)
(What you need)
(What you need)
Yea we gotta feel it
(What you need)
(What you need)
(What you need)
Cause I need to feel at home
(What you need)
(What you need)
(What you need)
Ooh come along too
Such a long ride
Come a long way
Ooh, sing it tonight

[Daoriginal]

Yooo, I swear to you, this randomly pop in my head, which is why I’m here 😅

[johncoltrane]

I like this version a lot more, and I'm an old geezer.

[marcelmercure]

The original and this cover are equals. This version does holds its own without eclipsing the original.

[goneparonormal]

This song makes me feel free. It makes me want to hit the road and never look back.

[nancywindnagle]

LOVE this cover!! It's a modern spin to an 'old' song.

[raphaelsanluis]

I've been trying to find this song for a long time .

[josephsalvas]

We Need a LITTLE BIT of Loving and Friends and Good Every Single Day. Were MORE HAPPY that We Have MUCH OF THAT EVERY SINGLE DAY! Good Song! 👍 😊

[tickedoffnow]

I love both but this is my favorite version 🙏♥️

[laf]

Love both versions so much. each one holds its own, in its own way.

[marc]

Songs are 30 years apart, both great. Saw both in comment!

[rastaj]

This song is amazing, and no...this version is not better than the original. It's it's own beast.

[irtrdavenueel]

I just had a sad dream that the memories of being down in Virginia at Busch Gardens during the winter and was skiing there and I was having a good time but when going back all the memories started to kick in and I started to feel very sad for the rest of my dream and this song came on and the realization that we would be going back but not the same as it was before started to really get to me and pushed my depression so hard that things started to really get very sad when this song came on

[billriordan]

The 1977 Supertramp version is my favorite.

[semmcstevenson]

This cover is unforgivable. Humans need to learn to leave well enough alone. Hands off.
DONT TOUCH.

[erichscheel]

I always thought the guitar riff at the end of this was a nod to Badfingers Baby Blue.

[aidaolivera]

There are four versions and I love them all but the Italian version is my favorite.

[roberthodge]

This version was used in a Smallville episode.

[dragonlover]

Ok, nothing new to add.
This version is better than the original!

[NickGulley-kbuy]

This version is a lot better than areo Speedwagon

[ARIZJOE]

Better than the original. John's voice has masculine power behind it. Supertramp's lacked sonority and style. Also, the excellent, driving rhythm guitar provides a more felicitous arrangement.
