Viewing lyrics for Say Hey (I Love You) by Michael Franti & Spearhead.

I say hey… I’ll be gone today
But I’ll be back comin’ round 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 love you, I love you, I love you

I been a lotta places all around the way
I seen a lotta joy and I seen a lotta pain
But I don’t wanna write a love song for the world
I just wanna right a song about a boy and a girl
junkies on the corner always callin’ 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 look into your eyes, I knew it was true

(chorus)

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
Rockin’ in the dance hall, movin’ with you
Dancing in the night in the middle o’ June
My momma told me don’t lose you
‘cause the best luck I had was you

(chorus)

Rockin’ in the dancehall movin’ with you
I say Hey mama, hey mama-close to you
Rockin’ in the dancehall movin’ with you
I say Hey papa, hey papa- kick off your shoes
Rockin’ in the dancehall movin’ with you
I say Hey mama, hey mama-close to you
Rockin’ in the dancehall movin’ with you
I say Hey mama Hey mama Hey Mama
(chorus)
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
