Try Love - Lyrics
It’s easier to love than it is to hate
not every single thing warrant debate
cause all getting vex will do
Is make you stressed
now is time to put the case to rest
love is easy
hate is tough
the people have had enough
that’s why
I say... we got to
try love
it’s better to make a friend and not an enemy
them say must keep them closer but they’ll drain your energy (yeah)
so how about this time we try to get along?
I know it can be tough
To find some common ground
cause love is easy
hate is rough
the people have had enough
that’s why
I say... we got to
try love
try
try
try love
that is the key
try love
it will set you free
whoa
try love
yeah
cause all getting vex will do
Is make you stressed
now is time to put the case to rest
love is easy
hate is tough
the people have had enough
that’s why
I say... we got to
try love
try love
love is real
love is sure
love is the key that open doors
love is patient
love is kind
love make you see
although it’s blind
love is easy
love is pain
love is the sunshine through the rain
love is open
love is free
the only hope for you & me
ohhhh…
you gotta give this thing a try
my oh my
cause love is easy
hate is tough
jah people been through enough
that’s why
I say... we got to
try
try
try love
gotta try love
