I Got Love for Ya Lyrics


One, two, three four
Yoo hoo hoo, ah
Another morning has come and the sun is high
But I know that today is the day that I might cry
Because I know you're going
And I know you're leaving
To somewhere you hope to find the peace of mind you're seekingIn the back of a greyhound bus, it'll take you far
In the back of a greyhound bus you can be who you areSo I say
La-la-la la-la-la la-la-la la-la-la la La
I got love for you
I got love for youSo I'll be waiting my dear
Waiting right here
I'll be waiting my dear
Waiting right here
I'll be waiting my dear
Waiting right here
For you, youI remember the time back when we was home
In and out up and down in this life what a crazy road

It's been a long time that I shoulda said what I tell you now
That I got faith in you
And I believe in you
So I sayIn the dark of the night in the hotel when you're alone
In the middle of the city where nobody cares to know
On the top of the town in the glimmer of the shining lights
You just shine on now
You just shine on nowAnd we say
La-la-la la-la-la la-la-la la-la-la la la
I got love for you
I got love for youAnd we say
La-la-la la-la-la la-la-la la-la-la la la
I got love for you
I got love for youSo come on, come on, won't you come on
Come on, come on, won't you come on
Come on, come on, won't you come on home
So come on, come on, won't you come on
Come on, come on, won't you come on
Come on, come on, won't you come on home, come on home
I'll be waiting my dear
Waiting right here
I'll be waiting my dear
Waiting right here
I'll be waiting my dear
Waiting right here
Waiting my dear
Waiting right hereIn the back of a greyhound bus, it'll take you far
In the back of a greyhound bus you can be who you areSo I say
La-la-la la-la-la la-la-la la-la-la la La
I got love for you
Love for you
And I say
La-la-la la-la-la La-la-la La-la-la La La
I got love for you
Love for youAnd I say come on, come on, won't you come on
Come on, come on, won't you come on
Come on, come on, won't you come on
Come on, come on, won't you come on home
Won't you come on home (waiting right here)
Won't you come on home (waiting right here)
won't you come on home (waiting right here)
Waiting right here

Michael Franti is a gifted and much-heralded spoken word artist and political activist from San Francisco, CA. As leader of the politically and socially-charged group Spearhead, Franti is at the forefront of hip-hop's renaissance, expanding the music's boundaries as he draws on funk and soul-driven beats. Through his music and poetry, Franti tackles a range of issues--the criminal justice system, corporatization of our daily lives, AIDS, gay rights, homelessness, the death penalty, drug addiction and suicide.

His project Spearhead produced the critically acclaimed Home in 1990. The album contained his biggest single, "Hole in the Bucket," a thoughtful lament on the plight of the homeless, and "Positive," which addressed the growing AIDS epidemic. The album boasted adept funk samplings, sinuous guitar vamps, and soulful, melodic tracks about family and social injustice. 1997's Chocolate Supa Highway was not as pop-friendly as Home, but neither did its themes of kidnappings and police brutality lend themselves to such overt accessibility. Its mixture of harsher musical styles -- techno, rock, and funk -- was a step forward for Franti as his world view broadened and deepened. In 2001, Franti released Stay Human. In it he expresses his anger at the system, his advocacy of love, and his belief in freedom through individuality and self-expression through a set of songs that revolve around a fictitious death penalty case. In it, his embrace of the genres that inspired him is achieved with eloquence.

Earlier projects of Franti include The Beatnigs and The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy, which had more of an experimental/industrial sound, but addressed many of the same social/political issues.

As a celebration of the Election of Barack Obama Franti recorded the Obama Song, offered as a free track on downloaded at their offical website, www.michaelfranti.com/.
