Love Is All Around
Kid Loco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love is all around
Higher than top class
And touched by grace
It's the privilege
Like kings and queens
Walking naked during
And thru
Melancholy x-mas trees
I've been doing nothing at all
Working like a fool
I feel so high
'Cos this drug's so fine
I drove by the river
Stopped by the sea
Looks like too much water
For a man to drink
I've been doing nothing at all
Working like a fool
I feel so high
'Cos this drug's so fine
Doing nothing at all
Working like a fool
I feel so high
'Cos this drug's so fine
Doing nothing at all
Working like a fool
I feel so high
'Cos this drug's so fine
I've been doing nothing at all
Working like a fool
Doing nothing at all
Working like a fool
My lady godiva
Meets lady magnolia
La Nina, la Pinta
La Santa Maria
Maverick madonna
Maybelline melinda
Big tits of Alabama
Hot chicks from Atlanta
Doing nothing at all
Working like a fool
I feel so fine
Cos' the girls are alright
Never went to church
But in god I trust know
Got more passengers
Any train can haul
Doing nothing at all
Working like a fool
I feel so high
'Cos this drug's so fine
Doing nothing at all
Working like a fool
I feel so high
'Cos this drug's so fine
Doing nothing at all
Working like a fool
I feel so high
'Cos this drug's so fine
Doing nothing at all
Working like a fool
Doing nothing at all
Working like a fool
Love is all around
