Текст песни The Word - Live at the Jazz Cafe London 15th July 2014 - Bettye LaVette

Ladies and gentlemen
Get ready for the great lady of soul
Grammy nominee and Cherry Red recording artist
Miss Bettye Lavette

Say it, say the word, "Love"

In the beginning, I misunderstood
But now, I've got it, the word is good
Everywhere I go, I can hear it said
All the good books and the bad books I've read

Spread the word, you'll be free (say it, say it)
Spread the word and be like me (say it, say it)
Spread the word I'm thinking of (say it, say it)
Have you heard, the word is love? (Say it, say it)

It's so fine like sunshine
It's a word, it's a word they call, "Love"
It's a word, it's a word they call, "Love"

Now that I know what I'm feeling is right
I mean to show everybody the light
Give the word a chance to say
That the word is the only way

Spread the word, you'll be free (say it, say it)
Spread the word, be like me (say it, say)
Spread the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?

It's so fine like sunshine
It's a word, it's a word they call, "Love"
It's a word, it's a word they call, "Love"

Lord, it's so fine, just like sunshine
It's a word, it's a word they call, "Love"
It's a word, it's a word they call, "Love"

(Go on, say it) say the word, "love" (go on, say it)
(Go on, say it) say the word, "love" (go on, say it)
Say it
Say it
Say it
Say it

Say the word, "Love"
Say the word, "Love"
Say it
Say it
Say it
Say it

Say the word, "Love" (say the word)
Say the word, "Love" (say the word)
Say it
Say it
Say it
Say it
Say it
