Your Waist in Slow Motion (versione 2)

Verse

Light don go, lantern dey burn small

NEPA take the power, we no mind at all

Tin roof creaking, harmattan breeze

Your beads dey knock soft, one, two, three

Phone torch shining on your collarbone

Groundnut seller done pack, we dey alone

Cassette tape crackle, old highlife tune

Your body find the beat before the tune

Pre-Chorus

How you dey move so slow, so slow

Every step got me lower, lower

Time no dey rush, time no dey go

Just you and this old kerosene glow

Chorus

Your waist in slow motion

Got me stuck like the lantern flame

Your waist in slow motion

Dey burn me soft, no shame

Your waist in slow motion

Blackout never felt this way

Your waist in slow motion

I no want the light make come back today

Verse

Plantain oil smoke curling round the yard

Your wrapper loose, tied easy, not too hard

Ankle bangle ringing with the drum

Neighbor dey clap, say make the vibe come

You turn small circle, dust rise like gold

Old man dey watch, say "this one bold"

I catch your waist like catching river flow

Slow and steady, that's the way you go

Pre-Chorus

How you dey move so slow, so slow

Every step got me lower, lower

Time no dey rush, time no dey go

Just you and this old kerosene glow

Chorus

Your waist in slow motion

Got me stuck like the lantern flame

Your waist in slow motion

Dey burn me soft, no shame

Your waist in slow motion

Blackout never felt this way

Your waist in slow motion

I no want the light make come back today

Bridge

Forget the noise, forget the crowd

My eyes for you, no be for the loud

You dey teach me patience, one turn at a time

I dey learn your rhythm like it's mine

Chorus

Your waist in slow motion

Got me stuck like the lantern flame

Your waist in slow motion

Dey burn me soft, no shame

Your waist in slow motion

Blackout never felt this way

Your waist in slow motion

I no want the light make come back today
