Have Some Mercy

In England you have both Queen and King
But all over the world love is a splendid thing
So people, whether you are white or black, red blood or orthodox
You got to let love ring, I tell you

Have some mercy, huh
I said to have some mercy, baby
Cah, love is lovely, war is ugly
So have some mercy, baby-baby
Mi say, look fi have some mercy
Have some mercy, cah, love is lovely
Cah, let mi tell you, let mi tell you

Said-a, love it is a splendid thing
I said-a, love it is a splendid thing
In England you have both Queen and the King
See, all you got to do, you really let your love ring
'Cause I and I will really, truly keep you moving
Keep you moving an' grooving an' doing your own thing

I said-a, love it is a splendid-a thing
Said-a, love it is a splendid thing
If love was a thing I and I would anticipate
The rich would have love, an' the poor would have hate
I said-a, love it is a splendid thing
That is who me say, a love, it is a splendid thing
So have some mercy, cah, love is lovely
Got to let war go away
Got to let love stay each an' every day
Never let Satan lead you go astray
No-no-no-no way, you got to hear a weh mi say

Cah, love it is a splendid thing
So you have some mercy (Beverly)
Say, have some mercy (Mikey)
Say fi have some mercy (All over the world)
Have some mercy (Boys an' girl)
Say, have some mercy (You understand?)
I'm talking to man an' woman

Have some mercy, cah, love it is lovely
Let mi tell you, said-a, war, it is ugly (Hear weh I say)
Say, have some mercy
Say, have some mercy (Yeah-yeah)

I say, love is not a gamble, baby, love is not a toy
Fi di police, you got to wear di joint, then you jump for joy
