Give A Little Love 1986
Hammond & West Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've got to give a little love, have a little hope
Make this world a little better
Living in this crazy world, soaked up in the confusion
Nothing is making sense for me and you
Maybe we can find a way, there's got to be solution
How to make a brighter day? What do we do?
We've got to give a little love, have a little hope
Make this world a little better
Try a little more, harder than before
Let's do what we can do together
We can really make it better only if we try
Got the worries on our minds, got the troubles on our shoulders
Sometimes it seems so much what we go through
Maybe if we take the time, time to understand each other
We can learn to make it right. What do we do?
We've got to give a little love, have a little hope
Make this world a little better
Try a little more, harder than before
Let's do what we can do together
We can make it better only if we try
Only if we try
If everybody took somebody by the hand
Maybe everyone could learn to love and understand
We can really make it better only if we try
Singin', we can really make it better only if we try
We've got to give a little love, have a little hope
Make this world a little better
Try a little more, harder than before
Let's do what we can do together
We can really make it better only if we try
We've got to give a little love, have a little hope
Make this world a little better
Try a little more, harder than before
Let's do what we can do together
We can really make it better only if we try
We've got to give a little love, have a little hope
Make this a little better
We can do it together




Give a little love give a little love
Sing about the love sing about the love

Albert West was hardly Albert Hammonds musical equal in terms of songwriting power but he was a HUGE star in Holland and also found success in other countries as well. He died tragically some years ago. This is a great duet between Hammond and West and the two Alberts are great!

@kingsleyosei178

Oh! Hammond and West, I can't forget you. In Top ten and third world discotheques in Hamburg Reeperbahn! It wasn't a joke at all.
