	This song is the biggest pile of shit I have ever seen and I work in an elephant house.

No Picture Lucas Average	#2 by Lucas Lawrey at Oct 3, 2006 at 5:44 PM EST
	I love this song. I think it captures the heat of the summer and this woman perfectly. I love the chorus: "and it's just like the ocean under the moon / well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you / you've got the kind of lovin' that could be so smooth / give me your heart, make it real / or else forget about it" gosh, I love that. carlos santana is incredible ... and teaming up with rob thomas was just ... awesome.
