verse
All around the world, statues crumble for me
Who knows how long Ive loved you
Everywhere I go people stop and they see
Twenty-five years old, my mother, God rest her soul
chorus
(Uh, where you, uh, where you want)
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
(Where you want, where you try, uh, where you want)
Put your arms around me, baby...
(I, i, I w... w... would tell her, here, well
Spread your love and fly, oh, me, oh, my
Spread your love and fly, oh, me for i
Spread your love and fly, fly)
verse
Show me where you've been (say what?)
Love can make you hostage
Bout the starting or the end (never)
My mother, she told me so,
(Yeah, yeah, check it out)
chorus
(Higher, higher, higher, high, high, high)
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
(Like a birdie in the sky up so high)
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
verse
Love you, baby girl, love, and Ill tell no lie
All the women all be loving
They want to come a me I, just like I
I'm gonna tell her bye-bye and
Grow your wing and fly, oh, me, oh, my
Spread your love and fly, fly
pre-chorus
All around the world, statues crumble for me
Who knows how long Ive loved you (ain't my thing)
Everyone I know has been so good to me (hey, hear that)
Twenty-five years old, my mother, God rest her soul
chorus
(Like a birdie in the sky up so high)
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby (all night long)
(Higher, higher, higher, higher)
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
