City in Lights Lyrics by Africa Express

EGOLI

2019

[Intro: The Mahotella Queens]
Don’t go -
Don’t go baby
Don’t go
[Verse: Otim Alpha in Acholi language]
Bad boy, you don't listen to your parents
I don't listen to my parents
I'm too stubborn
Don't try me
I'm a stubborn Acholi
Look at the way I walk
I walk like a fighter
Don't try me
I walk like a bad man
[Verse 2: Georgia]
Listen my brother
Keep us safe
When I go away
I’ll listen to you say
[Pre-Chorus: Georgia]
Don’t go -
I’ve only lived one life
And in the city full of lights, city full of lights
I’ll stay, I’ll stay
[Chorus: Georgia]
I long for you
This city’s in lights
I long for you
This city’s in lights
[Verse: Otim Alpha in Acholi language]
Bad boy, you don't listen to your parents
I don't listen to my parents
I'm too stubborn
Don't try me
I'm a stubborn Acholi
Look at the way I walk
I walk like a fighter
Don't try me
I walk like a bad man
[Verse 3: Georgia]
Do you remember the day
We went straight to the garrow to play
Our hearts on our sleeve
High energy, high energy
[Pre-Chorus: Georgia]
Go to go
Only get one life
There’s a city full of lights, city full of lights
I want! (don’t go)
[Chorus: Georgia]
I long for you
This city’s in lights
I long for you
This city’s in lights
I long for you
I long for you, oh-oh
[Bridge: Georgia]
I long for the cities in lights
I long for the cities in lights
[Verse: Otim Alpha in Acholi language]
Bad boy, you don't listen to your parents
I don't listen to my parents
I'm too stubborn
Don't try me
I'm a stubborn Acholi
Look at the way I walk
I walk like a fighter
Don't try me
I walk like a bad man
[Outro: Georgia]
I long for the cities in lights
I long for the cities in lights
I long for the cities in lights
