It seems lately when I walk down the street There's somethin' in my neighborhood It's gettin' stronger every day It's like 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, yeah, yeah Oh, no, not the autumn leaves Lift you up like a flower in the cool night breeze My heart's just flyin' when he walks by Oh, 'cause he's my inspiration Yes, indeed my pride and joy Don't you say nothin' bad about What's between me and my baby boy My mom has her own 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, tell me you feel it comin' 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 walkin' by Oh, 'cause he's my inspiration Yes, indeed my pride and joy Don't say nothin' bad about What's between me and my baby 'Cause he's my inspiration Yes, indeed my pride and joy Don't say nothin' bad about What's between me and my baby boy There goes my baby walkin' There goes my baby walkin' by There goes my baby walkin' There goes my baby walkin' by There goes my baby walkin' There goes my baby walkin' by There goes my baby walkin' There goes my baby walkin' by
