there’s a lot of variations that I’m not too sure about it, but I think mine’s
close enough...

| this song is absolutely awesome. it reminds me of the days id travel with my uncle. this was one of our favorite sing alongs. hes a big santana fan its basically talking about a hook up or something that turned him around and he started really liking the girl and now he wants her to give him her heart to make his feelings worth it. amazing guitars. and the fact that its in pop stations means nothing. liking or disliking a song because of what station plays it is bogus and shallow. music is music. you like it or you dont. -Leo | |

| This great song is one of my favourites. You can feel Rob and Santana like what they are doing and you also see it in the video. It's simply superb! | |
