Give a Little Bit

Music by Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies
Words by me

Give a little bit
Oh, give a little bit of your force to me.
I’ll give a little bit
I’ll give a little bit of my force to you.
Any time that we interact
You give to me, I’ll give right back.

Push a little bit
And you will always find there’s a push on you.
Direction’s opposite
But with identical magnitude.
Every force is part of a pair:
A force you always have to share.
It’s not your own.

Push a little bit
And a matching force pushes back on you.
Pull or kick or hit
For any kind of force, it’s exactly true.
There’s no force that acts on its own:
You’ll never find a force that’s all alone.
No force at all.
Every action is matched to a reaction.
Oh, that’s Newton’s third law!

Oh, it’s wonderful the way it works.
Oh, a marvelous rule!
That’s how forces apply:
Interact, interact, interact, never solo.
It’s eternally true!
It’s Newton’s third breakthrough.

Big force or small;
Any at all.
Short time or long:
It’s never been wrong.
