(Shaggy)

Now I got to give this one a whole lot a love
And this one goes out to them on a world wide tip
Let them know that Beres Hammond is definitely
Here to spread nothing but love
Love for the world and love for the nation
A little bit a love in Herzegovina
A little bit a love a spread it in Jamaica
A wanna little bit a love in America
And let them know

Chorus
Take time to love, take time to love
Take time to love, take time to love

All the boys in New York City
And all the dreads in London City
And all the militant ones in Lebanon
All the way over there in Japan
Push up your hands 'cause you understand
Now put a permanent pause on hate
Let's get it on

Chorus (repeat)

Oh if you really feel it then sing
You got it you got it
Just for the record can I hear it again
Oh there it is there it is there it is
Take time to love
You got it you got it
There it is there it is yes

All the big bad dan dan dadas
Cool the vibes in sweet Jamaica
I know it's rough but we're still
Hanging on oh yea
Settle the war on Herzegovina
Listen rhythm and rock and come in ya
Why can't we all just get along It's the time
Take time to love If you really feel it then sing
You got it you got it yea
Just for the record can I hear it again
Oh God there it is there it is
Lets make some love take time to love
