Give a little love! Give a little love, give a little love to your brothers
Won't you just give a little love, give a little love to your sisters
No matter what their race
No matter what their creed
No matter what their colour
Won't you just give a little love, give a little love to each other
Go tell your friends to throw away their crack
We don't want anymore of that
It will only hold us back!
Go tell your friends to cast away their guns
It's no longer any fun
I don't wanna have to live and run!
Give a little, give a little, give a little love love!
Give a little, give a little, give a little!
One time man used to come a dance wid him wife
But nowadays man a come a dance wid him knife
Instead of a dance nice man a trouble and strife
And a youth a try take another youth man life
Go tell your friends to throw away their heroin
Do they not know it will do their bodies a terrible sin
Go tell your friends to throw away their knives
Before they take their brethren lives
Mmmm things rough, mmmm times hard
But we don't have to fight like cat and dog
Listen me good listen keenly
We need more love and unity
No fighting on the streets at night
With the gun with the bottle with the stick and the knife
Oh Lord! things would be nice
If each and everyone would unite
