RIFF 1 (7 times)
All right now. won't you listen?       
When I first met you, didn't realize,
I can't forget you or your surprise.
You introduced me to my mind
and left me watching you and your kind.
Oh yeah!

RIFF 2 (4 times)

RIFF 1 (7 times)
I love you. Oh, you know it.
My life was empty, forever on a down,
until you took me, showed me around.
My life is free now, my life is clear.
I love you, Sweet Leaf, though you can't hear.
Oh yeah!

BRIDGE and SOLO

RIFF 1 (7 times)
Come on now. try it out.
Straight people don't know what you're about.
They put you down and shut you out.
You gave to me a new today,
and soon the world will love you, Sweet Leaf.
Oh yeah!
