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
