Akoeba - African Woman Lyrics

Akoeba!
Sè sè sè... sè!
You say you look for a wife (èhein!)
Now you found fine fine girl (she's there!)
You've been dating for one year, two years, three years and now it's okay! (are you sure?)
Then, you decide you gonna move forward
You go see your parents
They say
Oh my boy, if that's what you want then let's go! (lucky boy!)
You dey go to see the girl
You see her family, there now
She says
Oh Darling! Do you really wanna marry me?
So! You'll need to see my Papa (hein?!)
You'll need to see my Pastor (éwoé!)
You'll need to see my Mama, Uncles, Aunties, Brothers, Sisters! (tchè tchè tchè...!)
African Woman Oh!

(This is trouble!)
Then this is what to do
1st thing!
You gonna buy me wrappa
Second!
You gonna buy me a car
You gonna buy me a house
You gonna give me money
Buy me shoes (no seriously?!)
Buy me hair
And you know!
Make up, nails, jewelry
Designer (éwoé!) dress and handbags
Smartphones, perfumes and body cream!
You say you love me, right?
It's time for you to prove it
Don't put that shame on me now
If not, then no more games! (no more games)
African Woman Oh!

She'll show you the way we do it!
