Lyrics for Aduke by Tjan
Standing here in this place
Wondering how long forever will last
I’m staring into your face now I’m thinking
Wanna see the end of forever with you
Over and over again
Wondering how I’ve been meaning to say this
Don’t wanna wait another day
So I’m gonna say this to you anyway
Di iyawo mi Aduke
Ma to ju e ayanfe mi
Girl I made a promise to you
And you know I will be true
Di iyawo mi Aduke mi oo eh
Na only you
I don’t wanna feel this way about any other
You be my fire you be my ginger
Everyday I dey craze on top your matter
Girl I’ve been around and now I’ve found the girl of my dreams
Tell me can you blame me all I can think about is
Your body sleeping in my bed
Put in the work getting paper
So I can give you everything you dreamed of
Girl your love has brought me down on my bended knees
Will you marry me
Will you marry me
Iyawo mii Aduke (Will you marry me)
Ma to ju re ayanfe mi (Come closer)
Girl I made this promise to you
And you know I will be true
Iyawo mi Aduke mi oo
Iyawo mii Aduke (Will you marry me)
Ma toju ree ayanfe (Come closer)
Girl I made this promise to you
And you know I will be true
Iyawo mi Aduke o oh oh
I will do anything (I will do anything for you)
For you
Come to live this life with me
Would you come live this life
And I know I’m not perfect no
But I love you more than words can say
Take my hands and tell me that you’ll stay
Iyawo mi Aduke (Will you marry me)
Ma toju ree ayanfe mi (Come closer)
Girl I make this promise to you
And you know I will be true
Iyawo mi Aduke mi oo
Iyawo mi Aduke (Will you marry me o baby)
Ma to ju ree ayanfe mii (Come closer)
Girl I made this promise to you
And you know that I’ll be true
Iyawo mi Aduke mi oo
Iyawo mi Aduke (You be my fire)
Iyawo mi Aduke (You be my ginger)
Iyawo mi Aduke
Iyawo mi Aduke mi oo
