Put a Little Love on Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We fight, we get high holdin' on to love
We came down 'cause there was nothing holdin' us
Is it wrong that I still wonder where you are?
Is it wrong that I still don't know my heart?

[Pre-Chorus]
Are you all dressed up but with nowhere to go?
Are your tears falling down when the lights are low?
Another Friday night tryna put on a show
Do you hate the weekend 'cause nobody's callin'?
I've still got so much love hidden beneath this skin
So, darlin'

[Chorus]
Put a little love on me
Put a little love on me
When the lights come up and there's no shadows dancin'
I look around as my heart is collapsin'
'Cause you're the only one I need
To put a little love on me

[Verse 2]
We wrote and we wrote
'Til there were no more words
We laughed and we cried
Until we saw our worst
Is it wrong that I still wonder where you are?
Is it wrong that I still don't know my heart?
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you all dressed up but with nowhere to go?
Are your tears falling down when the lights are low?
Another Friday night tryna put on a show
Do you hate the weekend 'cause nobody's callin'?
I've still got so much love hidden beneath this skin
Will someone

[Chorus]
Put a little love on me? Ayy
Put a little love on me
When the lights come up and there's no shadows dancin'
I look around as my heart is collapsin'
'Cause you're the only one I need
To put a little love on me

[Bridge]
Last night I lay awake
Stuck on the things we say
And when I close my eyes
The first thing I hear you say is


[Chorus]
Put a little love on me, ayy
Put a little love on me
When the lights come up we're the only ones dancing
I look around and you're standing there asking
You say, "You're the only one I need
So put your love on me"
[Outro]
You're the only one I need
Put your love on me

What did Niall Horan say about "Put a Little Love on Me"?
Genius Answer

It wouldn’t be my album if it didn’t have a sad, sad, sad ballad on it. This could potentially be my favourite song I’ve ever written.
I’d just gone through a breakup and it was all very real. It was very easy to sit down at the piano and speak and see what happens.

– Niall via The Sun
