I’ve been searching for a woman,
Wey go make all this nonsense, start to dey make sense
I’ve been searching all kinds of places, yeah!
So many ladies, different races, yeah,
And I almost gave up on love, that my heart retired,
So many troubled relationships got me sick and tired

Now I know, Now I know, Now I know I found my forever
