How far do you wanna go? One two three... No, no, no—one, two, three Put a little love in it Put a little love in it Put a little love in it Before it brings you down Put a little love in it Put a little love in it Put a little love in it Before it brings you down Brings you down Last time I saw John, he said "You're nothing but a sham Came here as a faker And you're leaving as a fan And if I go up in flames tonight Remember when I'm gone Bring it to the people Before they bring you down" Put a little love in it Put a little love in it Put a little love in it Before it brings you down Put a little love in it Put a little love in it Put a little love in it Before it brings you down Brings you down Every time he came to town, they'd say "You're nothing but a fake" 'Til he set himself on fire out At the Tollway Lake Burned up at the stake Out at the Tollway Lake As his flesh It cracks and flakes You better know he's not faking Put a little love in it Put a little love in it Put a little love in it Before it brings you down Put a little love in it Put a little love in it Put a little love in it Before it brings you down Brings you down Last time I saw John He didn't look too *** He said, "Hold onto your spit For the flames within your home" Now I'm over you And there's nothing really I can do I know, I know, I know, I know, I know You don't mind that I don't matter Put a little love in it Put a little love in it Put a little love in it Before it brings you down Put a little love in it Put a little love in it Put a little love in it Before it brings you down Put a little love in it I know, I know, I know, I know Put a little love in it I know you don't mind Put a little love in it Smoking in my mind Killing all my time Before it brings you down Laying in my shrines And on my landmarks Put a little love in it Put a little love in it Put a little love in it Before it brings you down Brings you down Brings you down Brings you down
