The first time I seen your smile

I knew I would walk a thousand miles

You said, “Hello” to me that day

I only stayed for a while

I had to go and make a change in my life

Cause I knew things weren’t meant to be, no

I know, I gotta do what I can

That’s why I’m a soloman

The first time I seen your eyes

Blew me away, what a sweet surprise

I said to you girl, “Babe I love ya so”

I dig the way you kept a smile in disguise

I let you know I had to go away that night

I guess I knew every day, lord

I meant, I gotta do what I can

That’s why I’m a soloman... yeah

You said to me, “Goodbye” that day

I know you tried to save my soul anyway

I said to you babe, “I’m not gonna follow you”

Ya lost that smile, then turned away

I’ve gotta do what I can with my life

I’ve gotta be the best I can, yeah

I’ve gotta, I’ve gotta do it baby; gotta be who I say

I’m gonna be a soloman
