(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
