Could somebody help with the lyrics for Labi Siffre's song "(Just) A little more
line" from 1970?
This is what I have:

Sitting here and it's getting late
Should I go or should I wait
I don't know what is going on
I just know that it's going on
Is it the truth or is it all lies
Can I believe what I see in her eyes
When she said yes, is she saying no
What can I do, I really don't know
Give me just a little more line
Give me just a little more line
Give me just a little more line
Give me just a little more line

I look at the sun as it's going down
I think of my head 'cause it's spinning round
I look at the sun but it turned us down
I need some affection, that's a fact
Will I live or will I leave
And when I leave with my heart unused
But this is the way that it's gonna be
Well I never can't say that it's good to me
Give me just a little more line
Give me just a little more line
Give me just a little more line
oo-hoo, m-m-mm
Give me just a little more line

Plea-ease,
Give me just a little more line
Give me just a little more line
Come on now and give me just a little more line

Maybe I will and maybe I won't
What if I do and what if she don't
It was never like this when I read the book
Maybe I better have another look
It's getting late, it's getting dark
Was it like this in the nozzle
I get my cool and say goodbye
I live right on and have another try
Give me just a little more line
Give me just a little more line
Give me just a little more line
Give me just a little more line

SHOULD BE (both present tense): When she says yes, is she saying no

And when I leave with my heart unused

SHOULD BE (note previous line) : And will I leave with my heart unused

Give me just a little more line

These are just my thoughts, can;t find a copy of the official lyrics,
but these amendments sound better to me
