It seems lately when I walk down the street

There's something in my neighborhood

It's getting stronger every day

There's a rumor that lights up all of me

And it whispers from the rooftops up above

I must hold on or I'll fly away



Oh, no, not the autumn leaves

Lift you up like a flower in the cool night breeze

My heart's just flying when he walks by



Oh, but he's my inspiration

Yes indeed my pride and joy

Don't you say nothing bad about

What's between me and my baby boy



My mom has her point of view

"You'll learn the hard way

If that's what you're gonna do"

My sister don't have much to say

My girlfriend told me when I was young

You'll know him the minute that he's there

Oh can't you feel it coming in the air?



Oh no, not a summer song

Makes the night feel better

When the day goes wrong

My heart's just a singer when he walks by



Oh no, not a summer night

You forget about tomorrow

Cause the world seems right

There goes my baby walking by



Oh, but he's my inspiration

Yes indeed my pride and joy

Don't say nothing bad about

What's between me and my baby boy



There goes my baby walking

There goes my baby walking by ...
