"Thank You For Talkin' To Me Africa" lyrics
(originally by Sly & the Family Stone)
Jerry-Jerry-Jerry (If people only knew), wait a minute
Jerry, Jerry (What I need you to do), let's get it right
They might've, so I gotta tell you
I wanna say thank to all those people
All of 'em, all of 'em
And this my song to all of the people
Well now
I wanna say thank you for lettin' me (I wanna say) be myself again
(Oh-oh, ooh, oh-oh)
Thank you for lettin' me (I wanna say) be myself again (Be all over again)
(Oh-ho, yeah, ohh)
Dance to the music all night long
Everyday people sing a simple song
Mama's so happy (A-yes, she is, yes, she is), mama start to cry (Ooh-ooh, ah)
Papa still singin' (Yay), you can make it if you try
Thank you for lettin' me (For lettin' me) be myself again (All over again)
(Oh-oh-oh, yeah, yeah)
I wanna say thank you for lettin' me (For lettin' me) be myself again
Stuff all in your collar, fluff it in the face
Chit, chit, chit-chat chatter tryin', stuff it in the place
Thank you for the party, I, I could never stay, mm
Many things are on my mind, but there are words in the way
Flamin' eyes of people's fear burnin' into you
Many men are missin' much, hatin' what they do
Youth and truth are makin' love, diggin' for a starter
Dyin' young is hard to take, sellin' out is harder, woo
Thank you for lettin' me (For lettin' me) be myself again (And I like it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(And I feel, hey, yeah)
Thank you (For lettin' me) be myself again (LeMel, I just wanna tell you)
(What I've been feelin', yeah)
Yo, Miki, yo
Do it to 'em, do it to 'em, yeah
Thank you for lettin' me, thank (Thank God for me)
Thank you, me, thank (Yeah, better believe in a brother)
Thank you, thank-thank (My sister, you should've 'lieved in my sister)
Thank you (Ha, yeah)
Thank you, thank, thank (Oh, oh, oh)
Thank you (Ooh-ooh-ooh, thank you)
Thank you, thank, thank (Ohh, oh, oh)
Thank you (I wanna say, woo)
Thank you, thank-thank (All because)
Be myself, thank-thank (I just wanna tell you)
Thank you, thank (I've been)
Thank (Oh, tell you that I've been through it, ah)
Thank you, be (I've walked through through the walls)
Be myself again (I've had my head turned down, yes, I have)
Thank you (And to all of those who would never thought I would)
Thank you, thank-thank (For all of the folks who never said I could)
By myself again (I wanna say thank you, thank you, I thank you, I thank you)
Thank you (I thank you, I thank you)
Thank you, thank-thank (Sure do)
Thank you (Oh yes, I do)
Thank you, thank-thank
Thank you (That's all I got to say tonight)
Thank you
Jerry, Jerry (What I need you to do), let's get it right
They might've, so I gotta tell you
I wanna say thank to all those people
All of 'em, all of 'em
And this my song to all of the people

I wanna say thank you for lettin' me (I wanna say) be myself again
