Lyrics
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, baby girl 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 of 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, girl, I hoped it was you And when I looked into your eyes, I knew it was true

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, baby girl 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 a 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 say, hey, I be gone today But I be back 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, baby girl I love you, I love you, I love you

And I say, rocking in the dance, hall moving with you I say, hey momma, hey momma, close to you Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you I say, hey, trippa, hey, trippa, got to shoot

Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you I say, hey momma, close to you Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you I say, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma Hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma

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 say, hey, I be gone today But I'll be back around the way It seems like everywhere I go The more I see, the less I know

I say, hey, I be gone today 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 that I love you, baby girl I love you, I love you, I love you

I love you, I love you, I love you I love you, I love you, I love you I love you, I love you, I love you
