Omobolasire
I really wanna see ya
Omobolasire
Hang on because I'm on my way

She is my lover
From the heart of Africa
Like no other
Princess of Nigeria
I was delirious
Ya that sun was beating down
Lady mysterious
Like an oasis that I found

And then she smiled
And then she came
And when she spoke
She told me her name

Omobolasire
I really wanna see ya
Omobolasire
Hang on because I'm on my way

Short cut through Lagos
Through the market place together
Was getting serious
I could have stayed that way forever

As fate dictated
I had to go back home to London
My heart vibrated
Because I knew I had to get to you

Omobolasire
I really wanna see ya
Omobolasire
Hang on because I'm on my way

Then came that sad day
A flight from Heathrow back to Lagos
Desperate to see ya
But they would not let me through

What can I do?
'Cept write to you
And everyday
My letters will say

Omobolasire
I really wanna see ya
Omobolasire
Hang on because I'm on my way

Omobolasire
I really wanna see ya
Omobolasire
Hang on because I'm on my way

Omobolasire
I really wanna see ya
Omobolasire
Hang on because I'm on my way

Omobolasire
I really wanna see ya
Omobolasire
Hang on because I'm on my way
