this one goes out to you
and yours worldwide
I say
hey I be gone today
but I be back around the way
seems like everywhere I go
the more I see
the less I know
but I know one thing:
that I love you
I’ve been a lot of places
all around the way
all around the way
I’ve seen a lot joy
and I’ve seen a lot of pain
and I’ve seen a lot of pain
but I don’t want to write a love song
for the world,
for the world,
I just want to write a song
about a boy and a girl
about a boy and a girl
junkies on the corner
always calling my name
always calling my name
and the kids on the corner
playing ghetto games
playing ghetto games
when I saw you getting down
well I hoped it was you
well I hoped it was you
and when I looked into your eyes
I knew it was true
I knew it was true
now
I’m not a highly
metaphysical man
I’m not a highly
metaphysical man
but I know when the stars are aligned
you can
bump into person
in the middle of the road
you can
bump into person
in the middle of the road
look into their eyes
and you suddenly know
and you suddenly know
rocking in the dance hall
moving with you
moving with you
dancing in the night
in the middle of June
in the middle of June
my momma told me
don’t lose you
don’t lose you
‘cause the best luck I had
was you
was you
and I said rocking in the dance hall
moving with you
moving with you
I said hey momma hey momma
close to you
close to you
rocking in the dance hall
moving with you
moving with you
I said hey papa hey papa
kick off your shoes
kick off your shoes
rocking in the dance hall
moving with you
moving with you
I said hey momma
close to you
close to you
rocking in the dance hall
moving with you
moving with you
I said hey momma hey momma
hey momma hey momma
hey momma hey momma
hey momma hey momma
hey momma hey momma
hey momma hey momma
my momma told me
don’t lose you
don’t lose you
cause the best look I had
was you
was you
and I know one thing
that I love you
that I love you
I said I be gone today
but I’ll be back around the way
but I’ll be back around the way
it seems like everywhere I go
the more I see the less I know
but I know
one thing for sure
one thing for sure
I love you
