Spare?
Lyric: Ted Koehler
Music: Harry Warren
Year: 1947
Original publisher: Harry Warren Music, Inc.
Verse:
I'd like to ask you for a little favor,
It's true that only you can help me out.
I promise I'll return this little favor,
If you'll come through for me
In this emergency, gee!
Chorus 1:
Baby, have you got a little love to spare?
My supply is running low.
I could use some cuddles and a squeeze or two,
A couple o' dozen kisses ought to see me through.
And, baby, just to prove that I am on the square,
You can have my I-O-U.
I wouldn't want to borrow from somebody else,
So, baby, if you really care,
Have you got a little love to spare?
Chorus 2:
Baby, have you got a little love to spare?
I would do as much for you.
Help me out and positively "honor bright,"
I promise to pay you back again tomorrow night.
And, baby, just to prove that I am on the square,
You can have my I-O-U.
I wouldn't want to borrow from somebody else,
So, baby, if you really care,
Have you got a little love to spare?
