Waist by the Waterside (versie 2)

Verse

Canoe rocking, paddle drop and glide

Your wrapper knotted low beside your thigh

Fish net drying, salt dust on the pole

River water catching gold, catching gold

You step out slow, sand between your toes

Waterside boys stop, forget where they dey go

Coconut water dripping down your wrist

I dey watch that waist like I dey miss a gift

Pre-Chorus

So tell me now, tell me now

Who teach that waist to bend so smooth

Small small, small small

Current pulling me to you

Chorus

Waist by the waterside, waist by the waterside

Moving slow where the river meet the tide

Waist by the waterside, waist by the waterside

Girl you dey do me something, I can't hide

Verse

Fishing boat rocking, sun dey burn my back

You wave your cloth, the color red and black

Market women singing by the old canoe

Every step you take, the sand agree with you

Wet skin shining like the palm oil light

Ankle bangle catching afternoon light

Bucket on your head but your hip no dey rest

Girl you carrying water like it's nothing at all

Pre-Chorus

So tell me now, tell me now

Who teach that waist to bend so smooth

Small small, small small

Current pulling me to you

Chorus

Waist by the waterside, waist by the waterside

Moving slow where the river meet the tide

Waist by the waterside, waist by the waterside

Girl you dey do me something, I can't hide

Bridge

Let the water hold us, let the current decide

No hurry today, we go take our time

Your hand on my shoulder, my hand on your side

Waterside evening, nowhere else to be

Chorus

Waist by the waterside, waist by the waterside

Moving slow where the river meet the tide

Waist by the waterside, waist by the waterside

Girl you dey do me something, I can't hide
