Give A Little Love

Pato Banton + Peter Spence

Album: Wize Up! (No Compromize)

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 the race,
no matter what the creed,
no matter what the 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!

Won't you just
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 the race,
no matter what the creed,
no matter what the colour.
Won't you just
give a little love,
give a little love to each other.

Come now! Come now!
Give a little, give a little,
give a little love, love!
Give a little, give a little,
give a little!
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.

Won't you just
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 the race,
no matter what the creed,
no matter what the colour.
Won't you just
give a little love,
give a little love to each other.

Come now!
Give a little, give a little,
give a little love, love!
Give a little, give a little,
give a little!
Give a little, give a little,
give a little love, love!
Give a little, give a little,
give a little!

Mmmm things rough, mmmm times hard
but we don't have to fight like cat and dog.
Listen me good. Come! Listen keenly.
We need more love and unity. Come!
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.

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's lives.

Won't you just
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 the race,
no matter what the creed,
no matter what the colour.
Won't you just
give a little love,
give a little love to each other.
