• Michael Franti and Spearhead – Say Hey

    A happy upbeat song to start the week! 🙂

    Lyrics after the break —

    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 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
    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 (3x)
    I love you (3x)
    I love you (3x)
    I love you (3x)
