I hit 'em too hard,
I hit 'em with the book,
He had to take another look when I 'em them with love.
Love for the heart,
Respect for the mind,
She said, 'yes' this time, when I hit her with love.
Lonely, lonely, lonely hearts need tenderness
Give 'em, give 'em, give 'em your love,
Your very best.
Words have their place, but live what you say,
God can have his way when you hit them with love.
Lonely, lonely, lonely hearts need tenderness
Give 'em, give 'em, give 'em your love,
Your very best.
Words have their place, but live what you say,
God can have his way when you hit them with love.
Hit them with love,
Words have their place'
Hit them with love,
But live what you say,
Hit them with love,
Words have their place'
Hit them with love,
But live what you say,
Hit them with love.
