Текст песни Can't Help It (But I Love You) - Uwe Banton

Look where we have reached
After all these years
Of travelling

When mankind is at war
Love stays far
How can we bring it near?
Tell me what is our fear

That is why I'm writing this letter
To all humanity no matter the color
Don't let religion mek yuh hate your brother

And I'm asking you to help me sing this song
Sing along, sing along
Aw, well – alright
I just can't help it, but I love you
No matter how hard the challenge is
They try to destroy the faith of the living
But JAH mek I know what true love is

Because, love is the key to our existence
So let me hear you, and give me a response
If you agree when mi seh that the whole world of today
Needs to overcome the distance, yeah
That keeps us apart
So open up your heart and let love in
That's why I sing
I just can't help it, but I love you
No matter how hard the challenge is
They try to destroy the essence of living
But JAH mek I know what true love is

Wel, well, well, well
We'll have to try our best
To overcome all petty prejudice
And put away all malice
For that is the entire madness
We were created in love
So love is what we have to give
There's only one life to live
I just can't help it, but I love you
No matter how hard the challenge is
They try to destroy the faith that we're living
But JAH mek I know what true love is

JAH love will guide us through stormy weather, yes
War and rumours of war
Are polluting the minds of the children
While mankind aims for the stars, in search of a solution
We need more loving again and again and again

But if a never Rastafari, I woulda gone down in the valley from long
He teach I the right, keep I from doing wrong
He guide I pon the rocky road, He make I strong
To know that humanity, we all are one
A bare confusion inna babylon
A bare corruption, mi seh inna babylon
Mek wi step outta babylon and go a Zion
You know that Ethiopia is the promised land
I just can't help it, but I love you
No matter how hard the challenge is
They try to destroy the roots that we're living
But Jah mek I know what true love is
Aw, well, yeah, yeah, yeah – yeh...
