“Amara” lyrics

Amara, oh

Hmm, baby take control of my mind like magic
Put it on me, oh, with your figure eight body
I left my jacket by the speaker, I'm distracted
Watching the way you move that Coca body
'Cause this your energy for club na for me
Whine am for me, make you no go do me shady
The ice is melting in my cup, I submit olo
Ciroc on me oh, baby, jeka jo di, di, di
I see the bouncer checking time, we don't care though
We got the whole floor looking like a movie
You got the rhythm in your spine, moving slow-mo
I want to lock you in my arms, completely

Baby center, center
Gbe body when you enter omalicha
Baby center, center
Will you give me fire make I burn oh?

Jo fun mi Amara, jo fun Amara
(Sweat on your collarbone)
Jo fun mi Amara, jo fun Amara
(Keep dancing for me)
Jo fun mi Amara mi, jo fun Amara
(Gold chain on your neck)
Jo fun mi Amara, jo fun Amara

Girl, I'll be crazy if I don't let you consume me
Your touch like fever, I'll take my chance with you
Ibadi e lo gbona bi ina, oreke lewa
The bouncer's looking but I'll show you I'm loyal
Your heavy hips weigh down like anchor oh
Oreke lewa oh, ayy
Would you show me? Show me now
I bought a bottle just to keep the table open
I'm losing focus every time you turn around
The DJ's playing something smooth, unspoken
I need to know if you are leaving with me now

In the center, center
Gbe body when you enter omalicha
Baby center, center
Will you give me fire make I burn oh?

Jo fun mi Amara, jo fun Amara
(Sweat on your collarbone)
Jo fun mi Amara, jo fun Amara
(Keep dancing for me)
Jo fun mi Amara mi, jo fun Amara
(Gold chain on your neck)
Jo fun mi Amara, jo fun Amara

I came here with my boys to celebrate the weekend
But now I'm thinking 'bout a ring and how to keep it
You turned a Lagos Friday night into a weakness
I don't even know your last name, but I mean it
Yeah, I mean it

Amara, Amara
Show me now, show me now
Amara, Amara
Show me now, show me now

Jo fun mi Amara, jo fun Amara
(Shey you hear me now!)
Jo fun mi Amara, jo fun Amara
(Sweat on your collarbone)
Jo fun mi Amara mi, jo fun Amara
(Gold chain on your neck)
Jo fun mi Amara, jo fun Amara

Amara, Amara
My jacket's still by the speaker
Amara, Amara
