Get on the Love Train
Got to get on board
Get on the Love Train
Got to get on board
You don’t need no ticket (Just get on board)
We’re on the right road (Just get on board)
On the Love Train
Gotta get on board

I never wanna leave my people behind
Whether black or white
And I don’t understand the reasons why
That we have to live apart and stray
For health strength and prosperity
It’s there for you, it’s there for me
On the Love Train, Got to get on board

See my idea of a love train is to jam
in as one
Like Bobs jamming in the name of the Lord
With hearts and minds with fulfilness
we’ll rock this ya train
We’ll rock it to and fro
Come the high meek and the lonely
On this train there is no only

On the Love Train, Got to get on board
Get on the Love Train, Got to get on board
Closer we’ve got to be people
For living is what we need
Together we’ve got to be people
Loving is what we need

Get on the Love Train
Got to get on board
Get on the Love Train
Got to get on board
You don’t need no ticket (Just get on board)
We’re on the right road (Just get on board)
On the Love Train
Gotta get on board

She loves me and I know she wants me oh oh yeah
She loves me yeah and I know she cares about me
Friends they keep on telling me
How she sits and talks about me
Folks they keep on telling me yeah
How she always talks about me

Oh I’ve been such a fool
Not to realize the love we had
Gonna take this chance to prove to myself
Love is not a game
You and I should feel the same

Cause I recognize the woman in you
Cause I recognize the woman in you

Let love free me and break these chains that bind me
It’s taking me time to see it
The loving that surrounds me
I’ve been down on my luck before
See oh Lord I can’t take no more of this pain
Now I know it’s gonna be alright
Cause with you I see the light
It’s this way

Cause I recognize the woman in you
Cause I recognize the woman in you

In the corners of my mind
I can hear the voice of love
It talks about you
There’s a place within my heart
Leaves me longing for the night
To vibe with you

Cause I recognize the woman in you
Cause I recognize the woman in you

I can feel the woman, woman in you, feel woman in you
I recognize the woman in you
I can feel the woman

I can hear her heartbeat from a thousand miles
And the heaven’s open every time she smiles
And when I come to her that’s where I belong
Yet I’m running to her like a river song

She gimme love love love love crazy love
She gimme love love love love crazy love

She’s got a fine sense of humor
When I’m feeling lowdown
Yet when I come to her when the sun goes down
She takes away my troubles, takes away my grief
Takes away my heartache, go right to sleep

She gimme love love love love crazy love
She gimme love love love love crazy love
She gimme love love love love crazy love
She gimme love love love love crazy love

Yes I need her in the daytime
And I need her in the night
And I wanna holding my arms around her
And kiss and hug and kiss and hug her tight

And when I’m returning from so far away
She give me some sweet lovin’
Brighten up my day
Yet it make me righteous, ooh and it makes me whole
Yet it make me mellow down to my soul

She gimme love love love love crazy love
She gimme love love love love crazy love

There’s a vibe within the air
And it’s every, everywhere
If you reach out you can hold it, hold it
If you only seek, seek the right way

Try love, Jah love, try love, Jah, Jah love
Try love, Jah love, I love you

It’s a feeling deep within
And without it life is really grim yeah
It fills a space of unhappiness
So, try a little loving, that’s my request

Try a little lovin’
‘Cause it’s lovin’ we need
Letting go the pain
That makes my heart bleed

Try a little lovin’
‘Cause it’s lovin’ we need
Letting go the pain
That makes my heart bleed
Try a little love

If we only club together, hey
And learn to live, live with one another
Tears or pains would never be, hey
And to this I’m sure you’ll all agree

Try love, Jah love, try Jah love
I said you gotta try, said you gotta try
Try love, Jah love, Jehovah I love you

Try a little lovin’
‘Cause it’s lovin’ we need
Letting go the pain
That makes my heart bleed

Try a little lovin’
‘Cause it’s lovin’ we need
Letting go the pain
That makes my heart bleed
Try a little love
You’ve gotta try, try to know, oh

Try a little lovin’
‘Cause it’s lovin’ we need
Letting go the pain
That makes my heart bleed

Try a little lovin’
‘Cause it’s lovin’ we need
Letting go the pain
That makes my heart bleed
Try a little love
Oh, I feel the pain yeah yeah

Try a little lovin’
‘Cause it’s lovin’ we need
Letting go the pain
That makes my heart bleed

Letting go the pain
That makes my heart bleed
Try a little love

You’ve gotta try, you know
Before it’s too late
Ooh, I don’t wanna cry
Don’t you know, don’t you know

Like a tear that never falls
It’s like a story left untold, oh, oh, oh, ah
Like a pain within one’s heart, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Where do I find the words to start?

Cry me a river that paths the way
Set my people free, oh, oh, ah
Cry me a river that paths the way
To set my people free, oh, oh, ah

I turn it over in my mind, oh, oh, oh, oh
So much to do, so little time, oh, oh, oh, ah
I said their path lies in the truth, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
What can we do to help the youths?

Cry me a river that paths the way
Set my people free, oh, oh, ah
Cry me a river that paths the way
To set my people free, oh, oh, ah

We have the ways, we have the means
To turn to reality this dream, oh, oh, oh, ah
We put our shoulders to the wheel, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
This is a love we all can feel, oh, won’t you?

Cry me a river that paths the way
Set my people free, oh, oh, ah
Cry me a river that paths the way
To set my people free, oh, oh, ah

Cry me a river that paths the way
Cry me a river that paths the way

Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river

Strollin’ on, strollin’ on
Strollin’ along with my girl
Holding her by her hand

See it’s a feelin’
Which you’ve gotta experience for yourself
Lord it’s a feelin’ you have
When you’re strollin’ along with your girl

Thinking of things
Of things gone long by
All the times we spend
When we’re strollin’ along together
Yes I’m strollin’ on
Yes I’m strollin’ on

Strolling with my girl
Holding her by, holding her by her hand

Strollin’ on on on, yeah oh yeah

Strolling with my girl
Holding her by, holding her by her hand

See in the country
Flowers, the cool breeze
The wind in her hair
Seems so sweet to me

So when you’re in love
And she loves you too
Hand in hand, feelin’ the vibes flow through
So when I kissed her lips
So soft so sweet as honey
Strollin’ along with a beautiful girl like her
Cause I’m strollin’ on
Yes I’m strollin’ on

Strolling with my girl
Holding her by, holding her by her hand

Hey girl how do you do
I wanna talk to you
Seen you down 4th Avenue
I wanna spend some time with you

Pretty little girl, I’ve been watching you oh baby
Pretty little girl, I’ve been watching you

Cause you stole a little part of my heart
Yes you stole a little part of my heart

True love is a thing I’ve never found, never found
True love is a thing I see in you

Feeling inside I just cannot hide oh baby
Feeling inside I just can’t push aside

True love is a thing I’ve never found, never found
True love is a thing I see in you

Pretty little girl, I’ve been watching you oh baby
Pretty little girl, I’ve been watching you

oh yeah
Cause I’m in need of a little love and happiness
And I’m in need of someone to hold and caress
It’s not once or twice I’ve felt this way, felt this way
Everytime I see you pass my way oh oh oh

Feeling inside I just cannot hide oh baby
Feeling inside I just can’t push aside

Oh yeah
Everyday
Hoping you’ll come my way
Hoping for a time to say
Greetings hello what’s your name

Looking from an upstairs floor
Wanting you more and more
Feelings I can’t explain
Running wild within my brain

Pretty little girl, I’ve been watching you oh baby
Pretty little girl, I’ve been watching you

True love is a thing I’ve never found, never found
True love is a thing I see in you

I see in you, said I see in you baby I see in you oh oh ah

Said I found in you baby I found in you oh oh oh oh oh
Said I found in you baby I found in you

Let’s go again
This time I’m gonna make it, oh baby
Oh baby

I seemed to have woken up too early this morning
I stop and wonder, why?
Sweet visions of you, awoken me from my slumber
I ask my self is it really true? Yeah

Is this the girl I desire?
I wanna know, I gotta know
I wanna know for sure, oh girl

If your dreams are without me
Let me know, oh, oh girl
If your dreams are without me
Let me know, oh, oh girl

It’s not every day I wake up, that I’m happy
It’s not every day I’m sad
This vibe, this vibe, this vibe, that I’m feeling
I wanna know if you really feel it too, yeah

Sometimes when I’m lonely
This blue feeling takes a hold of me
I need your loving close to me
I need your loving desperately
So tell me, ’cause I really got to know

If your dreams are without me
Let me know, oh, oh girl
If your dreams are without me
Let me know, oh, oh girl

See sometimes when I’m lonely
This blue feeling takes a hold of me
I need your loving close to me
I need your loving desperately

So, if your dreams are without me
Let me know, oh, oh girl
If your dreams are without me
Let me know, oh, oh girl

If your dreams are without me
Really gotta know
If your dreams are without me

Hey
Say whats happened to humanity
There’s enough love for you, there’s enough for me
A cup for you and a cup for me
Sharing the love, that’s how it should be

Listen

In my raggy shirt and one pair of shoes
I tread along so confused
Mixed up illusions, lot of confusion
People building bombs, that’s no solution
I say

Stand up for your rights, brother man
Must be a way somehow, don’t give up
Stand up for your rights, brother man
Must be a way somehow, don’t give up

Living in a city, surrounded by walls
So many stumbling blocks and pit falls
Can’t afford to slip away, can’t aslide
With the Lord on my side, how can I fall

Said I gotta stand up, said I gotta stand up for my right 2x

Say whats happened to humanity
There’s enough love for you, there’s enough for me
A cup for you and a cup for me
Sharing the love, that’s how it should be

Sharing the love
A cup for you, a cup for me
Sharing the love, that’s how it should be
A cup for you, a cup for me
Sharing the love, that’s how it should be
Won’t you stay
