Lyrics
This one goes out to you and yours, worldwide
I say, "Hey, I'll be goin' today
But I'll be back home around the way"
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see, the less I know
But I know (I know) one thing (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'll be goin' today
But I'll be back home around the way" (aha)
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see, the less I know
But I know (I know) one thing (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 (okay)
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 (true)
I say, "Hey, I'll be goin' today
But I'll be back home around the way"
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see, the less I know
But I know (I know) one thing (one thing) that I love you (baby girl)
I love you, I love you, I love you
And I said, 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 papa, hey papa, got you too"
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 momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma
Hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma" (what you gonna do mama?)
Well, 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 (oh)
I say, "Hey, I'll be goin' today (ok)
But I'll be back home around the way" (you got me)
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see, the less I know
I say, "Hey, I'll be goin' today
But I'll be back home around the way"
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see, the less I know
But I know (I know) one thing (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
(Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you)
I say, "Hey papa, hey papa, hey momma, hey momma"
(Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you)
Come on, hey papa, hey papa, come to shoot (hey momma, hey momma)
