Unconditional Love Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
What a man
You know it's a bright and shiny day
I want to say something to you
I love you just like Ja do
We know a place
Where Ja's people can run free
A new kind of love
And we call it agape
Don't take too long to find
True love transcends all time
That non-reacting, everlasting love
[Chorus x2:]
Give me your unconditional love
The kind of love I deserve
The kind I want to return
[Verse 2:]
Don't try to change
Or tear your brother down
Let him make his mistakes
And he will come around
What a man
You know it's a bright and shiny day
I want to say something to you
I love you just like Ja do
We know a place
Where Ja's people can run free
A new kind of love
And we call it agape
Don't take too long to find
True love transcends all time
That non-reacting, everlasting love
[Chorus x2:]
Give me your unconditional love
The kind of love I deserve
The kind I want to return
[Verse 2:]
Don't try to change
Or tear your brother down
Let him make his mistakes
And he will come around
Hasten just to pray
And Ja's true word obey
In non-reacting, everlasting love
[Repeat Chorus:]
Give me your unconditional love
The kind of love I deserve
The kind I want to return
Give me your unconditional love
The kind of love I deserve
The kind I want to return
Give me your unconditional love
My torn heart to discern
This agape love to learn
Everybody say
Give me your unconditional love
The kind of love I deserve
The kind I want to return
Give me your unconditional love
My torn heart to discern
This agape love to learn
And Ja's true word obey
In non-reacting, everlasting love
[Repeat Chorus:]
Give me your unconditional love
The kind of love I deserve
The kind I want to return
Give me your unconditional love
The kind of love I deserve
The kind I want to return
Give me your unconditional love
My torn heart to discern
This agape love to learn
Everybody say
Give me your unconditional love
The kind of love I deserve
The kind I want to return
Give me your unconditional love
My torn heart to discern
This agape love to learn
[Bridge:]
Hasten just pray
And Ja's true word obey
In non-reacting, everlasting love
[Repeat Chorus x3:]
[Repeat x3:]
Give me your unconditional love
My torn heart to discern
This agape love to learn
Hasten just pray
And Ja's true word obey
In non-reacting, everlasting love
[Repeat Chorus x3:]
[Repeat x3:]
Give me your unconditional love
My torn heart to discern
This agape love to learn

Genius Answer
I heard them and didn’t know much about them – I just knew they were a bunch of young boys from England and I’d written the song and just knew they had to sing on it.
