I'm not trying to teach you how to live

But I've got something

I guess you'll like to know

Now listen

Try a little love

It's what mama used to say

Son try a little love

And things will go your way

Try a little love

In everything you do

Try a little love

'Cause love will do

Papa used to say

The same came to me

Son try a little love

Listen and you will see

Try a little love

In everything you do

Try a little love

'Cause love will do

You dig that don't you

Now I want you to sing along with me

Come on

Try a little love

Try a little love

Try a little love

'Cause love will do

Sing it with the boys

I like that

Try a little love

Try a little love

Try a little love

'Cause love will do

Try a little love

Try a little love

Try a little love

'Cause love will do

Try a little love

Try a little love

Try a little love

'Cause love will do
