Skin Like Honey Tonight (versie 3)

Verse

Harmattan wind dey scatter your hair

Dust on the window, but you don't care

Coconut oil warming up in your palm

You rub am slow, skin catching the lamp

Generator hum like a lullaby

Candlelight flicker in your dark eyes

Cream on your shoulder, shine on your neck

I dey watch you glow, I no fit forget

Pre-Chorus

So tell me now, tell me now

Who go rub your back, who go show you how

Kerosene light making shadows bend

Slow, slow, we go start again

Chorus

Skin like honey tonight, honey tonight

Catching the lamp light, holding it right

Melt for my hand, melt for my hand

Skin like honey tonight, that's my plan

Skin like honey tonight, honey tonight

Soft as the harmattan, warm in the light

Nothing dey rush us, nothing dey fight

Skin like honey tonight

Verse

Bucket of water still warm from the sun

You dab your arm, say the day don dey done

Powder and perfume, jasmine and shea

Mosquito net swaying, wind blow this way

You twist your wrapper, tuck in the fold

I dey trace your collarbone, soft marigold

Pre-Chorus

So tell me now, tell me now

Who go rub your back, who go show you how

Kerosene light making shadows bend

Slow, slow, we go start again

Chorus

Skin like honey tonight, honey tonight

Catching the lamp light, holding it right

Melt for my hand, melt for my hand

Skin like honey tonight, that's my plan

Skin like honey tonight, honey tonight

Soft as the harmattan, warm in the light

Nothing dey rush us, nothing dey fight

Skin like honey tonight

Bridge

No be film, no be photograph

Just your hand guiding my hand, half and half

Cream done finish but we no dey mind

Warmth still holding, we still entwined

Chorus

Skin like honey tonight, honey tonight

Catching the lamp light, holding it right

Melt for my hand, melt for my hand

Skin like honey tonight, that's my plan

Skin like honey tonight, honey tonight

Soft as the harmattan, warm in the light

Nothing dey rush us, nothing dey fight

Skin like honey tonight
