Lyrics[edit | edit source]
in-a-gadda-da-vida, honey
don't you know that i'm lovin' you
in-a-gadda-da-vida, baby
don't you know that i'll always be true
oh, won't you come with me
and take my hand
oh, won't you come with me
and walk this land
please take my hand
in-a-gadda-da-vida, honey
don't you know that i'm lovin' you
in-a-gadda-da-vida, baby
don't you know that i'll always be true
oh, won't you come with me
and take my hand
oh, won't you come with me
and walk this land
please take my hand
in-a-gadda-da-vida, honey
don't you know that i'm lovin' you
in-a-gadda-da-vida, baby
don't you know that i'll always be true
oh, won't you come with me
and take my hand
oh, won't you come with me
and walk this land
please take my hand
