just a little more

sittin' at a poker table holdin' kings and threes

so far lady luck

hmm

sure has been good to me

i should quitl while i'm ahead

but i'll hang around instead

and the dealer asked: what would you settle for?

and i said: just a little more

i need just a little more

a little more than i've got

and i've got all that i can spend and i can't spend it fast enough

but if the truth be known

i can't quit on my own

and i spent all my life waitin' for just a little more

havin' a drink here on my favorite stool

i know that a couple has turned into a few

and the bartender says to me: son

i think it's time you leave

if you don't mind headin' for the door

but i ask: for just a little more

i need just a little more

a little more than i've had

and i've had all that a man should and i should leave and not come back

but if the truth be known i can't quit on my own

and i spent all my life waitin' for just a little more

too many late nights and all of the aboce

you've tried to help me for so long

but you finally had enough

and you tell me that you're gonna leave

as you're holding on to me

but before you let me go

hold me just a little more

i need just a little more

a little more time

time for me to end all these hurtin' ways of mine

and lord

i know you give me all the strnegth that i need

but i'm down here on my knees prayin' for

just a little more

just a little more
