Hi-Five

[Intro]

[Verse 1:]
Never did I
Believe in fairy-tales
Till I met you
You changed my whole world
Now I realize love is so special
Something so true
And I wanna spend my life with you
Though never did I think that I could feel this way (girl)
Love is so real, baby
Sometimes I feel so all alone
Then you comfort me
With your wide open arms

[Hook]
Fly away on the love today
Fly away on the love

Fly away on the love today
Fly away on the love

[Verse 2:]
Now that you know how I feel
About you girl
Watcha gonna do, babe?
You drive me crazy
There's no such thing as maybe
You’re my lady
Yes you are
There's never been another
To do what you do when you do to me, girl
Ohhh, hoh
If I had one wish, girl
It would be for you and I to fly away
On a love today

[Hook]
Fly away on the love today
Fly away on the love

Fly away on the love today
Fly away on the love

Ohhhhhh, yeah

[Bridge]
Oh yeah
You know you feel so good right here
Let me whisper in your ear
I wanna tell you everything
That you always wanted to hear
Baby let's fly away tonight
There’s nobody here but me and you
And the sweet candlelight
So if you ready, I'm ready
Yo Tony
Take us home
I love you, baby

[Hook] x2
Fly away on the love today
Fly away on the love

Fly away on the love today
Fly away on the love

Fly away on the love today
Fly away on the love

Fly away on the love today
Fly away on the love

Come and
Fly with
Me my
Love

Come and
Fly with me

Come and
Fly with
Me my
Love

Come and
Fly my love

Won't you come and fly
My love
My, myyyyyy
Oh baby, come with me

Come and
Fly with
Me my
Love

Come and
Fly my love

Fly away on the love today
Fly away on the love

Fly away on the love today
Come and fly my love

You changed my whole world

Now I realize love is so special

Come and fly away

Away
Yeah, yeah

Hi-Five is an R&B group from Waco, Texas, originally consisting of lead singer Tony Thompson, Russell Neal, Roderick Clark, Marcus Sanders, and Toriano Easley, who was later replaced by Treston Irby. They released their self-titled debut album in 1990, which peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and was certified Platinum. This album featured the #1 R&B/Top 10 Pop hit “I Can’t Wait Another Minute,” and “I Just Can’t Handle It,” which peaked at #3 on the R&B Singles chart, as well as their biggest hit, the Teddy Riley-produced “I Like the Way (The Kissing Game),” which hit #1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B Singles chart.

Their follow-up album Keep It Goin' On was released in 1992 and featured the hit songs “She’s Playing Hard To Get,” which peaked at #2 on the R&B Singles chart and #5 on the Pop chart, as well as the R. Kelly-produced single “Quality Time,” which peaked at #3 on the R&B Singles chart. Their third album Faithful was released in 1993 and contained the hit singles “Unconditional Love” and “Never Should’ve Let You Go”, which were also featured on the soundtracks to Menace II Society and Sister Act 2, respectively.

The group disbanded in 1994 and Tony Thompson went on to release his solo album Sexsational in 1995. Thompson re-formed Hi-Five with four new members and released the album The Return independently in 2005 but he was issued a cease-and-desist order by the original members of the group to halt sales of the album. As discussions of putting the original group back together were taking place, Tony Thompson passed away on June 1, 2007 in his hometown of Waco, Texas. Treston Irby and Marcus Sanders have carried on with the Hi-Five name, continuing to make music and tour.
