LYRICS

Hey, got your big mouth running

But it's not what you say

It's what you do

Huh, yeah

Tellin' folks doing something yeah (that's bad)

Don't say you do

If I know you don't

Chin on your fist like a Stone Man

Not what you think

It's what you feel

About time we suppose to feel it

Don't fake the feel

If it's not for real

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Rocket do

Said you want some

Not what you want

It's what you give

Get what you want, yeah (that's good)

Oh, don't go to get

What you don't want yet

Lotta Love peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart for a week in February of 1979.

The song was written by Neil Young, who recorded his own version of the song as well.

Lyrics

It's gonna take a lotta love

To change the way things are

It's gonna take a lotta love

Or we won't get too far

So if you look in my direction

And we don't see eye to eye

My heart needs protection

And so do I

It's gonna take a lotta love

To get us through the night

It's gonna take a lotta love

To make this work out right

So if you are out there waiting

I hope you show up soon

You know I need relating not solitude

Gotta lotta love

Gotta lotta love

It's gonna take a lotta love

To change the way things are

It's gonna take a lotta love

Or we won't get too far

It's gonna take a lotta love

It's gonna take a lotta love
