Select language to translate this lyric
Some say its old school, some say it uncool, for us to be in tune
And express the way we feel for another
I donât understand that brother (brother, brother)
I mean if you like this girl for example
And she gave you ample opportunities to let her know
A fool would let his ego, lock up his heart and not let it show
Excuse me sir can you spare some change (please)
Change up the way, you play these games (please)
It would be cool if you wake up, more than alone cause
You treated grown women like damn
Chorus
Open up your arms and hold them as wide as you can
Show love, Give love, Try love, even if the one you love is yourself
Open up, your arms and hold them as wide as you can
Try love, Show love, Give love
Give someone a hug, even if itâs yourself
Iâm talking about love, sheâs talkin about lust
Sheâs talkin about past, Iâm talkin about us
I guess I need to pay attention
Yo mommy, Iâm finally learning about the art of listening
Past the warning signs a million times
Either blind or illiterate or a little bit of both
Either way, I would stay way past the expiration date on the loathe (Man)
Miss can you spare some change (please)
Change the way you look at me strangely (please)
I mean guys that only judge, outside of beauty
I ask for name, not for your booty
Chorus
Open up your arms and hold them as wide as you can
Show love, Give love, Try love, even if the one you love is yourself
Open up, your arms and hold them as wide as you can
Try love, Show love, Give love
Give someone a hug, even if itsâ yourself
Chorus
Open up your arms and hold them as wide as you can
Try love, Give love, Show love
Even if the one you love is yourself
Open up, your arms and hold them as wide as you can
Show love, Try love, Give love
Hug somebody, even if itâs yourself
Oh Oh
Oh Oh Now listen
Iâm not just talking about the person by your side
When was the last time you called your Grandma
To see if sheâs alright
Maybe took the time to see the person right on the street
Might need a helping hand (Helping hand)
And understand, Iâm not preaching, but I ainât lying either
Come on. Come on bring them horns back on in
Hey, Hey, Hey
Show love, show love, Try love
Even if the one you love is yourself
Try Love, Show love, Give love
Hug somebody, when was the last time you hugged yourself
Oh yeah yeah yeah uhmmmmm
