Could You Be Loved
. Bob Marley & The Wailers Lyrics

Could you be loved and be loved?
Asking the listener if they are capable of giving love and also receiving it.

Don't let them fool ya
Do not allow others to deceive or manipulate you.

Or even try to school ya, oh, no
Do not let others try to teach or instruct you on how to live.

We've got a mind of our own
We have the ability to think and make decisions independently.

So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right
Ignore those who try to criticize or condemn you for having your own thoughts or opinions.

Love would never leave us alone
Love will always be with us, even in difficult times.

A-yin the darkness there must come out to light
Even in times of darkness, there will eventually be hope and light.

The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too
Life can be difficult and full of obstacles that may cause us to make mistakes.

So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you
Don't be quick to blame or judge others, as you may also be judged in return.

Love your brotherman
Show love and kindness to your fellow humans.

Don't let them change ya, oh
Do not allow others to alter or transform who you are.

Or even rearrange ya, oh, no
Do not let others manipulate or control your life.

We've got a life to live
We should focus on living our own lives to the fullest.

They say, only, only
Some people believe that only the strongest will survive.

Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive
Only the strongest and most resilient will be able to overcome life's challenges.

Stay alive, eh
Keep pushing forward and persevering through life's hardships.

You ain't gonna miss your water until your well runs dry
You may not realize the value of something until it is gone or no longer available to you.

No matter how you treat him, the man will never be satisfied
If someone is unhappy, it is not always caused by external factors, but rather their own mindset or attitude.

Say something!
Encouraging the listener to speak up and express themselves.

Say something reggae, reggae
Encouraging the listener to express themselves in the style of reggae music.

Say something rockers, rockers
Encouraging the listener to express themselves in the style of rock music.

Say something (could you be loved?) say something, uh
Encouraging the listener to speak up and share their thoughts and feelings about love.

Say something (could you be, could you be, could you be loved?)
Asking the listener if they could be loved.
