Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've been around the world in the pouring rain

Feeling out of place, really feelin' strange

Take me to a place where they know my name

'Cause I ain't met nobody that looks the same

I'm a fish out of water, lion out of the jungle

(He a fish out of water, lion out of the jungle)

I need my peoples, my peoples, take me to my peoples

(He got jungle fever, show him some love, show him love)

[Verse 2]

Just gotta have someone, gotta have someone

To relate to, to relate to (I found a brand new home)

Just gotta have someone, gotta have someone

To relate to, to relate to (I found a brand new home)

[Verse 3]

See, I been travelin', been travelin' forever

But now that I've found a home, feels like I'm in heaven

See, I been travelin', been travelin' forever

But now that I'm home, feels like I'm in heaven

See, I been travelin', been travelin' forever

But now that I've found a home, feels like I'm in heaven

Feels like I'm in heaven, feels like I'm in heaven

Feels like I'm in heaven, feels like I'm in heaven, heaven

[Verse 4]

Travelin' the world like a torn man

Been around the planet in a foreign land

I've seen things that I thought I'd never see

Take me to a place where they look like me

I'm a lion out the jungle, fish out of the ocean

(He's a lion out the jungle, fish out of the ocean)

I need my peoples, my peoples, take me to my peoples

(He got jungle fever, show him some love, show him love)

[Verse 5]

Just gotta have someone, gotta have someone

To relate to, to relate to (I found a brand new home)

Just gotta have someone, gotta have someone

To relate to, to relate to (I found a brand new home)

[Verse 6]

See, I been travelin', been travelin' forever

But now that I've found a home, feels like I'm in heaven

See, I been travelin', been travelin' forever

But now that I'm home, feels like I'm in heaven

See, I been travelin', been travelin' forever

But now that I've found a home, feels like I'm in heaven

Feels like I'm in heaven, feels like I'm in heaven

Feels like I'm in heaven, feels like I'm in heaven, heaven

[Verse 7]

Heaven, feels like I'm in heaven

Feels like I'm in heaven, oh, I'm in heaven

Oh, and I'm

Feeling right at home, feeling right at home

Feeling right at home (I found my brand new home)

I'm feeling right at home, feeling right at home

Feeling right at home

Feeling like I'm in heaven

It's like I'm in heaven

It's like I'm in heaven, oh, I'm in heaven

It's like I'm in heaven, oh, I'm in heaven

It's like I'm in heaven, oh, I'm in heaven, oh

Oh, yeah, I'm
