Every day I want to fly my kite
Every day I want to fly my kite
And every day I want to get on my camel and ride
Ooh, yeah

[Verse 2]
Every day I want to shake your hand (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
For, in the world, making me a better man
And every day I want to get on my camel and ride
(On my camel, ride on my camel...)
Ooh, baby

[Chorus]
And when the day is through, nothin' to do
I sit around, grooving with you
And I say it 'cause I love–having you around
And I say it 'cause I love–having you around
Yeah

Every day I want to be your friend (Be your friend)
'Cause you have stuck with me through thick and thin
And every day I wanna smile in your lovely brown eyes

[The preceding has been put here on tape!
To let you all know that I say it to her, because I love having her around
Can you dig it? Can you get to that?] (Even when she's messing around!)
(He likes having her around, even when she's messing around!)
(Which is very often, that's what she's doing...)
(The motion of music, when she's messing around...)
