Aduke Onidiri

I love it when you laugh and smile, At the same time, in my delight I get sad. Because I wish I could be the only man while other men are animals Àdùk?´, you're so beautiful with those marks. Don't be bothered about the city girls, you got tribal marks not devil marks. When you laugh I see a rihanna, When you now decide to keep it low I see a Michele Obama. Àdùk?´ Onídìrí, follow me to the city, I'll open a fashion hub for you at the riverside of lekki. ?ni bíi ?kàn mi, please help patch my broken ribs. Àdùk?´ èmi ?w?n When we've a daughter, we'll name her Ar?`wà èkó (Lagos) With your hands on her hair, beautifulness will be a course in the university. Àdùk?´, dùk?´, Shake those beads on your waist for me and let's dance to Àpàlà like sány?`rì ?`k?là.
