[Intro]
Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh whoa whoa oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Whoa whoa oh

[Verse 1]
It seems we've lost our touch
Used to be so in love, yeah, uh
But somehow we've gotten off track
And we never really got it back, no, yeah
I think we better find a way, yeah
And get right back to them good old days, good old days
Wanna make it to Heaven's gate, yeah (oh)
And we need to escalate, I need...

[Chorus]
I need direction (I need direction)
To that street called love (to that street called love, yeah)
Lead me to that road (trying to get home, yeah)
Trying to get home (oh, take me to love street, yeah)

[Verse 2]
Now life has gone and skipped a beat
Tell me where are all the dancing feet, yeah
Boy, I tell you there's always something going on
Tell me why can't we all just get along
Keep struggling (yeah) just to get by, oh (oh)
So many hills, mountains to climb, yeah
We should all be ashamed of ourselves
'Cause if we don't love ourselves
Tell me how can we love somebody else?

[Chorus]
I need direction (we need direction)
To that street called love (to that street called love, yeah)
Lead me to that road (I'm trying to get home)
Trying to get home (come on and take me to Love Street)

[Bridge]
Sunday morning (yeah)
People are dressed up (yeah)
Ready to go and have some...church
(And I remember feeling so joyful)
On the Eastside or the Westside
Or the Northside or the Southside
You were at...church
(So tell me what is all this fighting for)
So what is all this pouting about? (whoa)
And what is all this hating about? (whoa)
(We have got to figure out
How to get right back to Love Street)

[Chorus]
I need directions (we need direction, woah)
To that street called love (to that street called love)
Lead me to that road (trying to get home)
Trying to get home (would you take me straight to Love Street)
I need direction (I need some direction, yeah)
To that street called love (yes I do, yes I do, yeah)
Lead me to that road (please let me lead me to that road)
Trying to get home

[Bridge]
Heard somebody say (Toot-toot-beep-beep)
Heard somebody say (Tell me how to get to love street) yeah
Heard somebody say (Toot-toot-beep-beep) yeah
Heard somebody say, yeah (Tell me how to get to love street) Yeah
Here we go, here we go, here we go

You make a right on L
Make a left on O
Come to a green light
And that's when you can go
You keep straight on V
Until you come to E
That's when you see a big sign that says
Welcome to Love Street

[Chorus]
I need direction (welcome to my street)
To that street called love (yeah yeah, welcome, yeah, hey)
Lead me to that road (Lead me to that road, yeah)
Trying to get home (Oh yeah oh)

(Tell me how to get to Love Street)
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, yeah, whoa
(Tell me how to get to Love Street)

[Outro]
Pied Piper, your music weatherman
It's love o'clock y'all
And y'all listening to the sounds of the Chocolate Factory
This next one goes out to the ladies
Ladies' Night, Happy People, baby!

R. Kelly

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
