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
