Biography

Originally a group of Los Angeles based studio musicians including guitarist [a=Steve Lukather], keyboardist [a=David Paich], bassist [a=David Hungate], and the Porcaro Brothers (drummer [a=Jeff Porcaro], keyboardist [a=Steve Porcaro] and later bassist [a=Mike Porcaro]), aside from doing session work for other stars, Toto had a lengthy career of hits in their own right. Their commercial peak was 1982's "TOTO IV", which won several Grammy awards, including Album Of The Year. Toto is best known for their hits "Africa," "Hold The Line", "Rosanna", "Georgy Porgy" (covered by 3D and Eric Benet and sampled by MC Lyte on her track "Poor Georgie"), and "I Won't Hold You Back", the last of which Roger Sanchez used for his worldwide hit "Another Chance." After Steve Lukather decided to leave Toto in order to concentrate on his solo career, the band became officially defunct as of mid-2008, although in 2010 they reformed, allegedly for a short series of concerts only, to support their former bassist Mike Porcaro, who had been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease.). However, the band continues to tour. In October 2020, Lukather and [a=Joseph Williams] announced a renewed line-up and plans for a tour.

LYRICS

Boy meets girl on the playground of life
Falls in love for the very first time
Late at night he sees her alone, but she's the type that can never be owned
He can't get her off his mind, but she knows he'll get over her in time
And the world goes round and round

Chorus:
She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
It's just the only thing that she's ever known

Boy sees girl on the poor side of town
A city princess with her very own crown
He's too young to be taking such a chance
'Cause she walks the streets in the name of romance

Everywhere she goes he's there and she knows, he's just another fool who cares
And the world goes round and round

Chorus: She goes straight...

Everywhere she goes he's there and she knows, he's just another fool who cares
And the world goes round and round

Chorus: She goes straight...

'Cause that's the only thing that she's ever known (repeats 4x)
