Do Ya Love Lyrics
So many times, people turn they backs to you
'cause they don't wanna see, what's inside you
'cause lookin' inside of you
they might realize there's something inside of them
they might not wanna find
But it ain't about who ya love (who ya love)
see it's all about do ya love (do ya love)
(chorus)
Well well well well
sunshine, and loveliness
ain't nobody feeling no ugliness tonight
ain't it fine like sippin' sweet Georgie wine
see I'm just chillin' with these friends of mine
I ain't tryin' a bother you
so why ya gotta bother me
what goes on in your bedroom ain't no mess to me
you say your God don't like my God
'cause you don't like my friends
but your friends tryin' to kill a man
and I don't understand
'cause it ain't about who ya love (who ya love)
see it's all about do ya love (do ya love)
(churus)
Ooh one two three
say yeah say yeah feels so good to me
ohh! and ya one two three, say yeah, say yeah
feels so good !!!
I say do it at home or on the street
with a drag queen don't matter to me
it ain't about sex or having degrees
your pedigree don't matter to me
about who ya love (who ya love)
see it's all about do ya love (do ya love)
(chorus)
'cause they don't wanna see, what's inside you
'cause lookin' inside of you
they might realize there's something inside of them
they might not wanna find
see it's all about do ya love (do ya love)
Well well well well
sunshine, and loveliness
ain't nobody feeling no ugliness tonight
ain't it fine like sippin' sweet Georgie wine
see I'm just chillin' with these friends of mine
so why ya gotta bother me
what goes on in your bedroom ain't no mess to me
you say your God don't like my God
'cause you don't like my friends
but your friends tryin' to kill a man
and I don't understand
see it's all about do ya love (do ya love)
(churus)
say yeah say yeah feels so good to me
ohh! and ya one two three, say yeah, say yeah
feels so good !!!
with a drag queen don't matter to me
it ain't about sex or having degrees
your pedigree don't matter to me
about who ya love (who ya love)
see it's all about do ya love (do ya love)
(chorus)

Against homophobia and being cool with homosexuality! Pretty straightforward but lovely michael Franti jubbly.
The only line I don't understand is "but your friends tryin' to kill a man, and I don't understand"
"but your friends tryin' to kill a man and I don't understand"
I believe that whole verse is referring to the men and women killed in hate crimes.
This song is about a much broader collection of themes than just homophobia...In fact I would say the most direct thing hes hitting on is that there's no sense in loving and worshipping a God if you don't practice a loving life in the first place.
But it's even broader than that. This song falls into his overarching philosophy which trascends (american) nationalism in search of global love and peace.
