The band I sing for is trying to do this song. The chorus goes
something like:

"I know a little 'bout love
And baby I can guess the rest..."

Does anyone know A) Who sings this
B) What the real name of this is
C) What the complete lyrics are?

While we're on the subject, anyone know a song called "Crossroads?"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Of their 1st album, I think.

Here are the lyrics:

KNOW A LITTLE

Well, the bigger the city, well, the brighter the lights,
the bigger the dog, well, the harder the bite.
I don't know where you been last night
but I'm thinkin', mama, you ain't doin' right.

Say, I know a little,
I know a little 'bout it,
I know a little,
I know a little 'bout it.
I know a little 'bout love,
baby, I can guess the rest.

Well, I don't read that daily news
'cause it ain't hard to figure why people gets the blues.
If they can't dig what they can't use,
if they'd stick to themselves they'd be much less abused.

Say, I know a little,
Lord, I do know a little 'bout it,
I know a little,
I know a little 'bout it.
I know a little 'bout love,
baby, I can guess the rest.

Well, you want me to be your only man.
Said, listen, mama, did you all I can.
Do right, baby, by your man.
Don't worry, mama, teach you all I can.

Say, I know a little,
Lord, I know a little 'bout it,
I know a little,
I know a little 'bout it.

I know a little 'bout love

and baby, I can guess the rest.
Well, I know a little 'bout love.
Baby, I want your best.

Actually, it's off their 'last' album, Street Survivors.

I Know A Little
- written by Steve Gaines
- from the Lynyrd Skynyrd album "Street Survivors"

Yes sir

Well the bigger the city, well the brighter the lights
The bigger the dog, well the harder the bite

I don't know where you been last night

But I think mama, you ain't doin' right

(Chorus)
Say I know a little
I know a little about it
I know a little

I know a little 'bout it

I know a little 'bout love

And baby I can guess the rest

Well now I don't read that daily news
'Cause it ain't hard to figure
Where people get the blues
They can't dig what they can't use
If they stick to themselves
They'd be much less abused

(Chorus)

Play me a little, oh yeah
Yeah

Well if you want me to be your only man
Said listen up mama, teach you all I can
Do right baby, by your man
Don't worry mama, teach you all I can

(Chorus)

Well I know a little 'bout love
Baby I want your best
