I Do
Misty Boyce Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drivin to the desert
Stars in my eyes
I′m goin' all night now
To greet you when the sun comes up and
I′m gonna show you all the words I learned that I can't say

Bone dry is the weather
To California

I'm goin′ all night now
To greet you when the sun comes up and
I′m gonna show you all the words I learned that I can't say

I′m goin home right now
To meet you where you showed me how I
Can't help but want you like
I′m dying here, honey, I'm dying here

All eye couldn′t speak about
Eye know, you knew
All eye could think about

Is that you know
I do
