40+ may be able to help me!

I know, I'm being new and intrusive but this happens to me a lot with songs. This one was a hit when I was a kid. I'm thinking mid 70's. Having older siblings, the radio was always on. I honestly thought it was a Stampeders song-sounds like they could have sung it. I'd describe the sound of this song as male band rock/folk.

Please accepts my apologies if I'm really far off on these lyrics, I didn't even hear this song recently to far my memory, it just uninvitingly popped into my head and is driving me insane!

A good part of the song has harmonizing either nah nah nah-nah nah nahhhh nah, nah nah nah, or la la la...there's some singing about feeling and maybe crying then the chorus I think goes

It's the little kind words that are spoken now to help her get along
it's the little kind words that are spoken now to show she belongs (or she's the one?)

the keyboard is electric zither kind of sounding-sorry, I'm musical illiterate.
