Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved?
Don't let them fool ya,
Or even try to school ya! Oh, no!
We've got a mind of our own,
So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right!
Love would never leave us alone,
A-yin the darkness there must come out to light.
Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved, wo now! - and be loved?
(The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too,
So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you)
(Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be loved?)
Don't let them change ya, oh! -
Or even rearrange ya! Oh, no!
We've got a life to live.
They say: only - only
Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive
Stay alive! Eh!
Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved, wo now! - and be loved?
(The people who walk in darkness have seen a great light;
Could you be loved? Could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
............................ thing's gonna be all right!
Could you be loved? Could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?)
Don't let them change ya, oh!
Or even rearrange ya! Oh, no!
Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up!
Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up!
Get up! Get up!
Get up! Get up! Get up, now!
We've been - we've been a-sit down too long!
Get up! Get up! Get up, now!
Get up, now! Up - eh!
Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved, wo now! - and be loved?
(You ain't gonna miss your water until your well runs dry;
No matter how you treat him, the man will never be satisfied.
Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be loved?)
Say something! Say something!
(Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?)
Say something! (Could you be - could you be loved?)
Say something!
Say something! Say something!
Say something!
Say something!
Say something!
Say something! Reggae, reggae!
Say something! Rockers, rockers!
Say something! Reggae, reggae!
Say something! Rockers, rockers!
Say something!
Say something!
