This classic was originally released as a rocksteady tune but the 1983 reggae cover became more famous as a dancehall era riddim, notably used in Sister Nancy – Pegion Rock.
[Verse]
Love is not a gamble
Our love is not a toy
A toy
Cause when you find the one
You love
You love
Your poor young heart
Is filled
Is filled
With joy
With joy
[Bridge]
Tell me if I'm wrong
Tell me if I'm right
Don't play with with love
Cause love is not a toy
A toy
[Verse]
Cause when you find the one
You love
You love
Your poor young heart
Is filled
Is filled
With joy
With joy
[Bridge]
Tell me if I'm wrong
Tell me if I'm right
Don't play with with love
Cause love is not a toy
A toy
A toy
A toy
A toy (love is not a toy)
A toy...
