All Around the World Songtext
von Edwin Starr

Woo-hoo

Oh, hear me people all around the world
I′d rather be a fly and try to land on my baby
And stay with her till the day I die
And with a toothpick in my hand, I'd dig a ten-foot ditch
′Cause you know that I'd run through the jungle
Fighting lions with a switch

'Cause you know I love you, baby
Well, you know I love you, baby
Well, a-well, a-well, a-well
If I don′t love you, baby
Grits ain′t grocery and eggs ain't poultry
And Mona Lisa, hear me, was a man, yeah
Oh baby, huh


All around the world, I got blisters on my feet
′Cause I'm trying to find my baby
And bring her home with me
You better run into me, baby, and be convinced
′Cause if you don't run into me, baby
Then I know you ain′t got no sense

'Cause you know I love you, baby
Well, a-well, a-well, a-well
I know you love me, baby
Well, if I don't love you, baby
Grits ain′t grocery and eggs ain′t poultry
And Mona Lisa, hear me, was a man, yeah
Oh baby, oh

All around the world, oh, I never will forget
I lost all my money and my woman and my pet
But I've got to have you, baby
And I′ll settle for nothing less
And I'd give up all my good times
And settle for happiness

Because you know I love you, baby
Well, a-well, a-well, a-well
You know I love you, baby
Well, if I don′t love you, baby
Grits ain't grocery and fried eggs ain′t poultry
And Mona Lisa, good God, was a man, yeah


Don't you know that I love you, baby?
Listen to me, I love you, baby
Can't you see that I need you, baby?
Can′t you hear that I want you, baby?
Don′t you know that I love you, baby?
