Objection Overruled
Gregory Isaacs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please give me a chance
So I can make my confession
Or do I was wrong?
Won't you please overrule your objection
And give me one chance
So that I can make things up with you

I must apologize
Cause I'm so sorry to treat you so cruel
Or do I was wrong?
Seem I was only playing a fool, so
Just one more chance
So we can talk this thing over
One more chance
Cause I don't wanna end as the loser

I must apologize
Cause I'm so sorry to treat you so cruel
Or do I was wrong?
Seem I was only playing a fool, so
Please give me a chance
So I can make my confession
Or do I was wrong?
Won't you please overrule your objection
And give me one chance
So that I can make things up with you

Over and over and over
One more chance
Cause I don't wanna end as a loser
One more chance
So we can talk this thing over
One more chance
Cause I don't wanna end as a loser
One more chance
Over and over and over

Seem I was playing a fool
I hope your objection will be overruled

One more chance
So we can talk this thing over
One more chance
Over and over and over
One more chance
Over and over and over
One more chance
So we can talk this thing over




One more chance
Over and over and over

Earlier as we grew up,
Objection overruled was the anthem,
It made us fugitives,
When we bang bellied someone,
Fare thee well the “Hot Stepper”

Later in the years,
When Tumbling Tears was the norm,
We would dedicate One More Chance,
Or can I change my mind,
Fare thee well the “Hot Stepper”

Now when we have no Substitute,
And have our Number One,
And trying to Hang on in there,
The grim ripper has taken him through the Front Door,
Fare thee well the “Hot Stepper”

Where was the Night Nurse,
When he needed the Simple Prescription,
That was Not the Way he had to go,
What is remaining is just but a Medley,
Fare thee well the “Hot Stepper”

Sad to Know that he is Gone,
But save the last chance,
When the storm is over,
We will sing Mind U dis while feeling Irie,
Fare thee well the “Hot Stepper”
