"Love Will Get Us By" lyrics

Wake up, Pete, and have Oreos
Love
What the world needs now
Love
Let the children sing, sing
Love
Alright, alright
Love will get us by
Gotta have it
Love
Don't ever give up on your love
Love will get us by

(Father) Please come and show us the way
Do you hear what I say? (Do you hear what I say?)
'Cause I know we're gonna all have to pray
If we wanna see another day
(That love) Will never let you down
It will always be around, so we can live without the fighting
And the prejudice
All this hatred is getting us nowhere

Let love guide you
If not for yourself, then think of the children (That love)
Set your mind to
Never let love fall, 'cause we all (Gotta have it)

Love will get us by (Love)
Love is all that matters (Gotta have it)
Hear the children cry
Don't you miss their laughter?
We can find a way (Gotta have it)
If we only try
Love will get us by (Love will get us by)
Love will get us by

(Colorblind) Is what we all need to be, yeah
Hey, yeah (Do you see what I see?)
Take a good look at yourself
(Inside, inside, inside, inside, just like, just like) Inside yourself, just like me, yeah

We need some love and happiness
Do it for the children if not for yourself (That love)
Let love guide you
We all got to try, love will always get by (Gotta have it)

Love will get us by
Love is all that matters (Gotta have it)
Hear the children cry
Don't you miss their laughter?
We can find a way (Don't ever give up on your love; Gotta have it)
If we only try
Love will get us by (Zee-zee-zee-zee)
Love will get us by

Together
Alright, alright
To-to-to-to-together, we can make forever

Alright, alright (Love)
Let the children sing it (Gotta have it)
Let the children sing it
Sing it, children, got to sing it

Love will get us by
Love will get us by
If we only try
If we only try (Gotta have it)

Za-ba-doo, za-ba-doo, za-ba-doo, zee
Love will get us by (Gotta have it)
[?]
Sure that love will get us by
Love will get us by
Zee-zee-zee (Gotta have it), zee-zee-zee (Love)
Zee-zee-zee-zee-zee-zee-zee-zee
Love (Gotta have it)
Break it down, break it down (Love)
Break it down, break it down
Break it down, break it down
Break it down, break it down (Gotta have it)
Break it down, break it down, down, yeah (Gotta have it)

Gotta have it
To-to— to-to-to—
Gotta have it
Love
Together
Gotta have it
That love

Love will get us by
Love is all that matters (Gotta have it)
Hear the children cry
Don't you miss their laughter?
We can find a way
If we only try (Gotta have it)
Love will get us by
Love will get us by
