When I was a little bit younger
The strain I was under could make me cry
Now I'm a little bit older,
A little bit bolder
I'm never so shy!

Sweet darlin'
(sweet darlin')
Come hold me
(come hold me)
Just a little bit longer now
(just a little bit, just a little bit longer)
Sweet darlin'
(sweet darlin')
Come hold me
(come hold me)
Just a little bit longer now
(just a little bit, just a little bit longer)

When things were a little bit clearer
When we got nearer
I shied from your touch
Now that I know what I want, see
I think that it haunts me,
I want you too much!

Sweet darlin'
(sweet darlin')
Come hold me
(come hold me)
Just a little bit longer now
(just a little bit, just a little bit longer)
Sweet darlin'
(sweet darlin')
Come hold me
(come hold me)
Just a little bit longer now
(just a little bit, just a little bit longer)

Sweet darlin'
(sweet darlin')
Come hold me
(come hold me)
Just a little bit longer now
(just a little bit, just a little bit longer)
