Give A Little Love

by P. Murray and P. Spence

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.
