Ho Hey
Sublime Reggae Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been trying do it right
I've been living a lonly life
I've been sleeping here instead
I've been sleeping in my bed

I've been sleeping in my bed

So show me family
All the blood that I will bleed
I dont know where I belong
I dont know where I wrong
But I can write a song

I belong to you, you belong to me
You are my sweet sweetheart
I belong to you, you belong to me
You are my sweet

I belong to you, you belong to me
You are my sweet sweetheart
I belong to you, you belong to me
You are my sweet

I don't think you're right for him
(Hey!) Think of what it might have been if

Took a bus to China Town
I'd be standing on Canal
And Bowery
And she'd be standing next to me
I
I belong to you, you belong to me
You are my sweet sweetheart
I belong to you, you belong to me
You are my sweet

I belong to you, you belong to me
You are my sweet sweetheart
I belong to you, you belong to me
You are my sweet

Love we need it now
Let's hope for some
Cause oh, we're bleeding out

I belong with you, you belong with me
you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me
you're my sweet
