"African Woman" lyrics

Oh my African girl, can I know you better
Can I put a ring on your finger
Girl, you're the one for me, oh
I know the other boys all want you
But girl, I need you
You make me feel like a man
Girl, I hope you understand me
Girl, I want you on my mind
Tell you to make my dreams come true
I am melody for people who know
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh baby, come be my lady
Check out my love, baby, can't be late, baby

Say African woman, you are sexy

And if you give me your love, make you give me return
Africa woman would you marry me baby
