All Around the World Lyrics by Edwin Starr

War & Peace

1970

[Intro]
Woo woo!
Oh, hear me people
[Verse 1]
All around the world I'd rather be a fly
And try to light on my baby and stay with her 'til the day I die
With a toothpick in my hand, I'd dig a ten foot ditch
Don't you know that I'd run through the jungle fightin' lions with a switch
[Chorus]
'Cause you know I love you, baby
Well, you know I love you, baby
Well, well, well, well if I don't love you, baby
Grits ain't grocery and eggs ain't poultry
And Mona Lisa, hear me, was a man, yeah
Oh, baby, huh!
[Verse 2]
All around the world I got blisters on my feet
'Cause I'm tryin' to find my baby and bring her home with me
You better run into me baby, and be convinced
'Cause if you don't run into me, baby, then I know you ain't got no sensе
[Chorus]
'Cause you know I love you, baby
Well, wеll, well, well I know you love me, baby
Well, if I don't love you, baby
Grits ain't grocery and eggs ain't poultry
And Mona Lisa, hear me, was a man, yeah
Oh, baby, ow!
[Verse 3]
All around the world, I never will forget
I lost all my money, my woman, and my pet
But I've got to have you baby, and I'll settle for nothin' less
And I'd five up all my good times and settle for happiness
[Chorus]
Because you know I love you, baby
Well, well, well, well you know I love you, baby
Well, if I don't love you, baby
Grits ain't grocery and fried eggs ain't poultry
And Mona Lisa, good gawd, was a man, yeah
[Outro]
Don't you know that I love you, baby
Listen to me, I love you, baby
Can't you see that I need you, baby
Can't you see that I want you, baby
Don't you know that I love you, baby
