We are born in silence
There's nothing or no one to blame
Soon we learn to fight or die trying
So my father said (yeah, right)
She said we could still be friends
It don't mean nothing
As it rushes to my head
You never loved, you just pretended or something
Darling, you really should have said
'Cause all I wanted was a little love
All I needed was a little care
All I wanted was a little love and tenderness
I hear the siren blaze in the distance
Her blood still on my hands
But there's no way I would hide, cause I loved her
Surely you understand
Your name is Geoffrey Drake
And you are under arrest, he said
Led me down the road in chains
Neighbors all turned their heads
'Cause all I wanted was a little love
All I needed was a little care
All I wanted was a little love and tenderness
We all die in silence
Then there's nothing, only ourselves to blame
Too much fight and no love gets you nowhere
I wish my mother had stayed
'Cause all I wanted was a little love
All I needed was a little care
All I wanted was a little love and tenderness
