Half a love (Rare Gems-1979/86)

Fuente: http://www.roots-archives.com/

Half a love is much better than no love at all
Half a love is much better than no love at all

It's not so nice to be alone in the middle of the night
you need someone just to hold you and caress you all the time
so...

Half a love is much better than no love at all
if you know what I mean
Half a love is much better than no love, no love at all

Sometimes ya got ta give & take
you wont always have it your own way
sometimes it's can't feel
and at other times it is still
but I still say...

Half a love is better than no love at all
you got to believe me
Half a love is much better than no love at all, at all

gotta tell you, gotta tell you

when you find someone to treat you right
don't try no games
just play it straight
keep the faith
and Jah will guide you in all the way but

Half a love is better than no love at all...

Time so rough,
And time so tough.
Time so rough.

Coming from the country with my bag of collie,
I walk up on a DC, him want fe hold me.
Don't you run now youthman, you won't get away.
If you slip you will die,
And if you run you can't hide.
For I've got my clip, stuck right in my hip, now.

Whoa-oa-oa DC.
Don't you take my ishen!
Whoa-oa-oa DC.
Don't you touch my collie!
Whoa-oa-oa DC.

The children crying for hunger and I-man a suffer,
So you've got to see, it's just collie that feeds me.
Fifty cents a stick, and a dollar a quarter,
That's what keeps me alive, me and my two kids and wife.
So give me a chance sir, a make me gwaan little faster,
Just let me pass through, and Jah will bless you.

Whoa-oa-oa DC.
Don't you take my ishen!
Whoa-oa-oa DC.
Don't you touch my collie!

No, for the time is so rough, I gotta hustle, yea..

A little ?? and a little ??
You dread them waiting in the city,
We go lick it to the gritty.So please Mister DC, won't you have some pity?
Whoa-oa-oa DC.
Don't you take my ishen!
Whoa-oa-oa DC.
Don't you touch my collie!
Whoa-oa-oa DC.
Don't you touch my ishen!
Whoa-oa-oa DC.
Don't you touch my collie!

No, no, no, no, Mister DC.
