This girl she looks so fine
How I wish that she was mine
How she inspires me
Beautiful for all to see

How can I catch your eye
Mustn’t let this chance go by
She’s much to nice to rush
I don’t wanna push too much

Typical island rose
Excuse me I beg your pardon
Typical island rose
Won’t you decorate my garden

Is she available
Or mission impossible
It drives me insane
Doesn’t even know my name
Who knows that we could fly
Wonder if I dare to try
How can I take the heat
This girl may be out of reach

Typical island rose
Excuse me I beg your pardon
Typical island rose
Won’t you decorate my garden

She’s looking like a dream
Straight out of a magazine
Jewel in a crown
Can’t help looking up and down

I gotta buy my time
Wait until I see the sign
She likes to tease around
Oh this game has just begun

Typical island rose
Excuse me I beg your pardon
Typical island rose
Won’t you decorate my garden

Let’s not dwell on the past
Let’s fight for today
Why wait until tomorrow
We tried that yesterday
We’re calling for a positive vibe
And a firm meditation
The seeds we need to sow
Take the youths off the streets
Give them proper education
That’s the way to go
Mothers and fathers
Brothers and sisters

Say we’re all in this thing together
Say we all got to care for one another
Can’t live in the hype
Got to remember where we coming from
Cause here in this jungle
It’s crying everyday
Love’s the only answer
To bring it all back together
So there ain’t no reason
For this bloodshed every day yeah oooh yeah

I remember those days
From my fathers generation
And how they used to roll
Peace and love on the corner, no bullets, no guns
No one acting cold
So where did all the love go
Tell me I wanna know

Let’s not dwell on the past
Let’s fight for today
Why wait until tomorrow
We tried that yesterday
We’re calling for a positive vibe
And a firm meditation
The seeds we need to sow
Take the youths off the streets
Give them proper education
That’s the way to go
Mothers and fathers
Brothers and sisters

Now there’s no need for you to get excited
Can’t you see that she’s already made her pick
Now if that’s what you’re thinking Richie Stevens

Tried to get myself together but it’s all upside down

And my needs you can’t seem to see
If you got a heart baby won’t you set me free yeah yeah

Sweet music playing on and oh girl it’s so fantastic
But if you keep telling me no I’m gonna make my own exit

Now you keep on telling me no then you wanna play around
But as I reach the door to make my exit
You keep calling me back girl I can’t take it no wohwohwoh

And baby I know every move and every button

Access to your heart, area restricted oh

For all that you’re giving me
And everything that you do
And this I must confess
Lady you’re the best
You you you

You may not know this baby
You don’t know that I love you more than anything
But then along the way
Sometimes we take things for granted
Never stop to question why, no no no
Down the road mistakes will be made, yeah yeah yeah
No matter sometimes we try

I’m not perfect and I don’t pretend to be
My heart is willing but my structure sometimes won’t listen to me
I wanna be good to you, be there for you
Cause you’ve always been straight with me, ain’t it love
Never wanna leave you lonely, no

And with this long lost joy I found
I throw everything in, nothing to hide from you, no
I provide for you, what’s right for you
And you never hear me complain or falter never again, no

Now you may have some secrets
That you’re so longing to share
There’s no better time to say it, oh babe
Let’s talk about it and leave it right here

I know we’re not perfect and I don’t expect you to be
You’re just a woman with a human ability
But you can be good to me and if I’m good to you
Everything will be just fine, ain’t it love
Never wanna leave you lonely no

And with this long lost joy I found
I throw everything in, nothing to hide from you
I provide for you, what’s right for you
You never hear me complain or falter never again no no no

Sometimes we take things for granted oh yeah
Never stop to question why, no
Down the road mistakes will be made, ah yeah
No matter sometimes we try

I’m not perfect and I don’t pretend to be
My heart is willing but my structure sometimes won’t listen to me
I wanna be good to you, be there for you
Cause you’ve always been straight with me, ain’t it love
Never wanna leave you lonely, no

I never wanna leave you lonely

Now this is Maxi Priest for the people
And this is Freddie Mc Gregor for the whole world
Mi nah tell you rude bwoy
Life is not how it seems eh
So we just have to deal with it
And deal with it straight up
Hail Jah

This one we’re doing it for the people ooooh
This is how we do our thing yeah my Lord
What is man today living in this world
If he can’t survive
We’ve got problems on our hands
Look at what we got
Life is worth a lot
He’s given us his love
Are we going to throw it all away

We can do it
I know I know
Spread some love and show it
Do it while we can
Make it happen oh yeah (oh Lord)
Faith can move mountains oh well
(If you believe in what you got)

Now what is taken place
In this world today
Leaders gone astray
They’re not looking our way
We must heal the soil
Then we share the spoils
That’s the way to go
To give a helping hand

We can do it
I know I know
Spread some love and show it
Do it while we can
Make it happen oh yeah (oh Lord)
Faith can move mountains oh well
(If you believe in what you got)

Slow down everyone pay attention
Let us reason for a while
I’m worried about this every day killing
That is turning into style
Don’t try to convince it’s normal
Playing with human lives
I don’t know about you
But I know it brings tears to my eyes

And I cry for the children
And I pray for them
That someday consciousness will once again
Be the answer to our prayers oh yeah

Now I’m tired of all the goings on around us everyday
How did the little bitty innocent babies become pray by the way
How could we allow ourselves to go so far
I’m almost certain we’ve forgotten who we are
I’m wide awake in a dream that never ends
And my heart cries out for help everyday

And I cry for the children
And I pray for them
That someday consciousness will once again
Be the answer to our prayers oh yeah

Oh yeah oh yeah I pray Lord I pray
How many more lives do you need for your games
Cause we’re counting
How many more mothers will you leave in pain
Cause it’s mounting
Could you give me a time or a day
How much longer we will have to wait
Will there be sunshine and no trace of crime when I wake

And I cry for the children
And I pray for them
That someday consciousness will once again
Be the answer to our prayers oh yeah

And I cry for the children
And I pray for them
That someday consciousness will once again
Be the answer to our prayers oh yeah

I pray said I pray I pray I pray
