Hey now here we go let`s start the show
Supposed to only call me `Lo
But you can call me The Soul Machine
Watch – HEEEEYYYY YYEEAAAA – See what I mean?
Four million flavors of the southern soul flower
But the power that you get from the heart of a human being
Only the mind is mechanic the dynamic happens
When the divine starts to intervene
Have mercy if I seem to be heavy
I don`t mean to be heavy
But Come save me, said this last fiend
`Cause the beginning and the ending and the misassumption
Will make `em move something in between
(Bridge)
It`s like I`m standing on my tippy-toes to touch a star (a star)
Trying to catch joy in other`s jar
And yes by far I`m so much further than they are
HEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY
(Chorus)
Turn the radio on, let the music play
If I could I`d dance my life away
And if you can`t seem to find any words to say
Make a joy-ful noise, fifth around it`s another day
When you see me you would know that you saw me
Because he always got on his game and his good shoes
Difficult to stop creating can`t wait
But they came to see God then great tell `em the good news
Isn`t it ironic how it feels so good?
But I was only just singing the blues
I wouldn`t open my mouth about it at all
If I thought that I was only just singing the fool
Have mercy if I seem to be heavy
I don`t mean to be heavy
Maybe `Lo you should lighten up
I really would if I could
But I really don`t think that anybody shell out enough
And I really think true wealth is home and happiness and health
A little cash and you`ll need nothing else
And as far as me being good, I can`t help myself
HEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY
(Chorus)
Turn the radio on, let the music play
If I could I`d dance my life away
And if you can`t seem to find any words to say
Make a joy-ful noise, fifth around it`s another day
So when you really really need you some soul
I mean dead serious damn near bout to die bout some
Don`t be too proud to turn your radio way up loud
Close your eyes and have fun
I used to feel like God was gonna call me too soon
The reason why I had to have my son
And every time I`ve ever opened my mouth and said something
Bout living was to earn my ones
Have mercy if I seem to be heavy
I don`t mean to be heavy
Wait I`m almost done
And God can truly work a miracle – Look at me
Isn`t it obvious that I`m one?
And I sing because I`m happy
And I sing because I`m free (I`m free)
And this my own little thing yes I agree
But don`t you want your kids to grow up to be just like me?
HEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
(Chorus)
Turn the radio on, let the music play
If I could I`d dance my life away
And if you can`t seem to find any words to say
Make a joy-ful noise, fifth around it`s another day
Cee-Lo scatting till fade
