Verse
Tailor drop the package, still smelling of starch
Wax cotton pattern, blue circles and arch
You step behind the curtain, call my name soft
Ask me fix the button, one dey come off
Fabric stiff for now, go soften with time
Same as your body dey soften with mine
Iron on the table, still warm from the heat
Pattern on your shoulder, tracing your skin sheet
Pre-Chorus
So slow, so slow, let the cloth fall right
Thread by thread, we got all night
No need to rush am, no need to hide
Skin on ankara, side by side
Chorus
Skin on ankara, skin on ankara
Pattern pressing warm where your body are
Wax print waist, holding you so tight
Skin on ankara, all through the night
Verse
New wrapper tight for your waist, dey hold you well
Indigo and gold, only you fit tell
I dey help you tie am, my finger dey trace
The line where the cloth meet your collarbone space
You laugh when the starch dey scratch small for skin
I blow on your shoulder, cool the heat within
Candle wax dey drip like the pattern for cloth
Two shadow one wall, we no dey rush off
Pre-Chorus
So slow, so slow, let the cloth fall right
Thread by thread, we got all night
No need to rush am, no need to hide
Skin on ankara, side by side
Chorus
Skin on ankara, skin on ankara
Pattern pressing warm where your body are
Wax print waist, holding you so tight
Skin on ankara, all through the night
Bridge
Take it off slow, fold it by the chair
Let the night air meet your body bare
Tomorrow the cloth go carry your scent
Tonight na just us, no other event
Chorus
Skin on ankara, skin on ankara
Pattern pressing warm where your body are
Wax print waist, holding you so tight
Skin on ankara, all through the night
