I first heard this song a few months ago on WFIV 105.3 and never heard the DJ announce who the song was by or even what it was called. Enter Google search, which led me to Michael Franti & Spearhead. This song makes me happy every single time I hear it. I’ve also enjoyed discovering more of the group’s music, including the single “Yell Fire,” currently being used as part of FX’s awesome Rescue Me season five promo. I hope this song puts a smile on your face the way it does mine.
Lyrics:
This one goes out to you and yours worldwide / I say hey I’ll be gone today
But I’ll be back all around the way / It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see the less I know / But I know one thing / That I love you
I love you / I love you / I love you
I’ve been a lot of places all around the way / I’ve seen a lot joy and I’ve seen a lot of pain
but I don’t want to write a love song for the world / I just want to write a song about a boy and a girl
Junkies on the corner always calling my name / And the kids on the corner playing ghetto games
When I saw you getting down well I hoped it was you / And when I looked into your eyes I knew it was true
I say Hey I’ll be gone today / But I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go / The more I see the less I know
But I know one thing / That I love you
I love you / I love you / I love you
Now 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 / Look into their eyes and you suddenly know
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you / Dancing in the night in the middle of June
My momma told me don’t lose you / ‘Cause the best luck I had was you
I said Hey I’ll be gone today / But I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go / The more I see the less I know
But I know one thing / That I love you
I love you / I love you / I love you
And I said rocking in the dance hall moving with you / I said Hey momma hey momma close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you / I said hey papa, hey papa close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you / I said Hey Momma close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you I said
Hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma
Hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma
What you gonna do?
My momma told me don’t lose you / Cause the best luck I had was you
And I know one thing that I love you / I said I’ll be gone today
but I’ll be back all around the way / It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see the less I know / I said I’ll be gone today
But I’ll be back all around the way / It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see the less I know / But I know one thing that I love you
I love you (3x)
I love you (3x)
I love you (3x)
