ok now for the chords and lyrics...

{section: Verse 1}
[F]Rolling around like a big rubber ball
[Am]Writing this song about some things that I saw
[F]Trying to stand like a big strong tough man
[Am]Finding out fast that I'm sinking in sin

{section: Chorus}
[Bb]All I got is nothing but a [F]little bit of love
Gonna [Bb]give it to the people then they'll [C]see,

Then they'll see

{section: Verse 2}
[F]Spinning the tops as the tables they turn
[Am]Made some mistakes but I still couldn't learn
[F]Covered my tracks, thought I was fine
[Am]Got no self control now I'm back here in line

{section: Chorus}
[Bb]All I got is nothing but a [F]little bit of love
Gonna [Bb]give it to the people then they'll [C]see,

Then they'll see

{section: Bridge}
 [F]   [Am] x4
switch every  4\4measure
(meanwhile strange oprah-lady sounds are going)

{section: Chorus}
[Bb]All I got is nothing but a [F]little bit of love
Gonna [Bb]give it to the people then they'll [C]see,

Then they'll see

thats pretty much it! thanks guys! rate please!!!
