Do A Little Good

Do A Little Good Lyrics

Do A Little Good Song Lyrics

---

[Verse 1: Ryan Reynolds, Will Ferrell]
I used to think that I was sure
Of what made people tick
You strip 'em down right to their core
And find a self-centered prick
I thought when the push came to the shove
I knew just what I'd do
I'd put me before you
But you didn't
I guess I didn't
[Pre-Chorus: Ryan Reynolds, Will Ferrell]
You can be a cynic and a sinner
Who can only see the flaws
But even if you lost your way
You don't have to stay a lost cause

[Chorus: Ryan Reynolds, Will Ferrell, Both]
So can we do a little good?
Maybe give a little more?
Work a little harder than we did the day before
It only takes a littlе good
And some doin' what you can
Takin' every chancе to make the choice to be a better man
So do a little good

[Verse 2: Will Ferrell, Ryan Reynolds]
Well, I have spent each Christmas Day
Obsessed with wrong and right
You thought change could only work one way
It had to happen in one night
But now you know, oh, now you know
The line of good and bad is not so clean
And what we are is somethin' in-between

[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Page, Will Ferrell, Sunita Mani, Tracy Morgan]
It's an everyday decision
Two steps forward, one step back
But if you try to do what's right
You're on the right track

[Chorus: All, Ryan Reynolds & Will Ferrell]
So try to do a little good
Maybe give a little more
Work a little harder than you did the day before (Work a little harder)
It only takes a little good
And some doin' what you can
Takin' every chance to make the choice to help your fellow man

[Post-Chorus: All]
So do a little good (Hey)
Just a little, just a little, just a little (Hey, hey)

[Bridge: All]
Maybe there's no magic wand
Maybe there's no switch to flip (Oh)
Some days you may soar beyond
Some days you may soar beyond
And some days you start to slip

[Pre-Chorus: All]
You can give the world some good
In the daily give-and-take
With every ripple, ripple, ripple that you make

[Chorus: All, Ryan Reynolds & Will Ferrell]
Do a little good (Do a little good)
Maybe give a little more (Give a little more)
Work a little harder than you did the day before (Doin' the world a little good)
It only takes a little good (Just a little good)
And some doin' what you can (Do what you can)
Takin' every chance to make the choice to help your fellow man, yeah
[Bridge: Will Ferrell, Ryan Reynolds, All]
And whether it's Christmas Day
Or a random day in May (Or a day in May)
You're gonna wanna say
That you tried the best you could
And a little is enough
A little is enough, a little is enough

[Outro: Both, Ryan Reynolds, Will Ferrell, (All)]
So do a little good (Hey)
(Just a little, just a little, just a little)
Do a little good, do a little good (Do a little good)
(Maybe there's no magic wand)
Do a little good
(Just a little, just a little, just a little)
(Ripple, ripple)
Give a little more (Do a little good)
Some days you may soar beyond
(Just a little, just a little, just a little)
(Ripple, ripple)
(Do a little good)
Do a little good
