So if want love, won't show me
Get some backbone, won't you son
Get some backbone, won't you son
Though you're mad just let the hate go
Let the love back in your heart
Bring the beat back to your heart

I raise my voice to get heard
And doesn't this seem a little, a litle bit absurd to you
Say black, I hear white
This is how we start these useless fights
Building up to a point where I can't take this anymore
And building up to a point where I just don't get you

So if you want love won't you show me
Get some backbone, won't you son
Get some backbone, won't you son
And though you're mad just let the hate go
Let the love back in your heart
Put the beat back in your heart

Though silence is golden, yours is killing me
I've been waiting so patiently
Messages get lost in translation
The dying art of communication
Building up to a point where I can't take this anymore
And building up to a point where I just don't get you

So if you want love, won't you show me
Get some backbone, won't you son
Get some backbone, won't you son
And though you're mad just let hate go
Let the love back in your heart
Put the beat back in your heart

So if you want love, come and get it
So if you want love, come and get it
