Lyrics: Felix Ayuk
Music: Felix Ayuk
She says I'm tall
My bones, a little too long
My head towers above the crowd
She says thanks to God
Because that's how she noticed me
She says my eyes are freezers
When she looks at them, they freeze her
She could stare at them all day long
But can't bear it when they return the favour
She says she loves the shape of my nose
Now there are stories of how
They'll look good on her children
Yes, she says I could be her children's father
And she thinks touching mine with her's
Will make her feel better
She says I'm a painkiller
My presence eases the pains that kill her
Takes their lives away, talk about wars
And she wants me to be her warrior
I swear, this girl dey worry oh
She says my lips are beautifully crafted
Says they are pink
She doesn't need an ocean to drown
The small saliva in my mouth can do the magic
And, really, all these are Spanish to me
She loves my glasses
And my dress sense
And yada yada yada
All these words may be true, I don't know
Who can tell?
Who knows the heart of man, if not God?
And I'm not ruling out the possibility
Of she just wanting to eat my work
But she says there's more
That my skin on hers feels like silk
My tongue in her mouth feels like cake
She feels safest in my embrace
And I must confess
I love it when she laughs at my jokes
She says she likes my hair
She'll braid it into lines befitting for a poet like me
And when our children come
They'll have hair like mine
Well-braided, well bred
And there's my palms
She says she wants to be fondled with it
She wants me to create angles and shapes
On her well-shaped body
To draw lines, endless lines from Point A
To any point the Spirit leads me to
She doesn't mind if I'm experienced
She's willing to take the risk
Oh, brave beauty
Did no one tell you about konji?
Konji na bastard
Putting all your eggs in one basket is faith
But shouldn't that be had in only God?
I mean, why throw yourself at a stranger like me?
Isn't sex sacred anymore?
Why pick me
When it's no news that looks deceive?
First impressions matter a lot, I know
But it's twenty twenty-one, sister
But for today, let me be an open book
Create your experiences on me
I don't know why, but
For you, I'm willing to enjoy your experiences too
