Ella Mai Little Things Lyrics

Hey, how you doing? How’s your day going?
You know that you can always say what’s on your mind
Are you on your way home?
I’ll warm up your plate when you arrive
Hang your coat, take off your shoes, hot water in the tub for you
Don’t have to, but I love to do
Bartender, I pour a drink, a movie on to entertain
I’m down to do the little things

Just wanna take some time to thank ya
And let you know just how you make me proud
The good times make up for the bad ones
I see you tryin’, and I don’t know how
You keep up with me when you’re workin’
Switch your timin’ when our schedules aren’t aligning
That’s a sign, that’s a sign
That it’s okay to finally tell the world that you are more than enough, enough, enough
For me

Be right here when you’re wakin’ up
Breakfast on the table, know you like
Eggs in there all scrambled up
Pancakes, bacon, OJ on the side
Packed your bag with extra clothes, your toothbrush in the Louis tote
Love notes for when you on the road (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Cleaned your watch and Cuban links
Silk pillowcase for you to take
Boy, you deserve the little things (Yeah, yeah)

Just wanna take some time to thank ya
And let you know just how you make me proud
The good times make up for the bad ones
I see you tryin’, and I don’t know how
You keep up with me when you’re workin’
Switch your timin’ when our schedules aren’t aligning
That’s a sign, that’s a sign
That it’s okay to finally tell the world that you are more than enough, enough, enough
For me

More than I can say
And you keep givin’ me more and more each day
Oh, baby and I never thought I’d end up with
The man of my dreams, you really him
I don’t mind takin’ time, baby, I’m down to do the little things
More than I can say
And you keep givin’ me more and more each day
Oh, baby and I never thought I’d end up with
The man of my dreams, you really him
I don’t mind takin’ time, baby, I’m down to do the little things

I’m down to do the little things
I’m down to do the little things (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I don’t mind takin’ time, baby, I’m down to do the little things
