Got this monkey sitting right on my shoulder
do I respect your ideals
took out the reason from all that I told ya
and said how does it feel?
to have - one love two together
one love - what could be better than that
one love - no desperate measure
one love

News from the battle front stares out from my paper
but I've got another way don't tell them I told ya
I eat between meals
so give me one love - two together
one love - etc.

No harm believing what you want to believe in
no harm at all in all that
but I'd be deceiving myself to believe in
what you do so what do I get
I get - one love - two together
one love - etc.
