And woke up alone And it's all because I dreamt of you What a wonderful tone To bring you back home My nose is burning Too much cocaine Got caught in Brooklyn With gasoline backed up with cellophane I'm in need of moderation

Where was I before you came around I was drifting, no place to call home Without you lovin' me You give me someone to believe in Staring out the window Watching the night turn into day It's 4 in the morning I've got so many things to say I've been out

(Africa, Africa) So what you know about Yo, in case you ain't know I go by the name of Akon and I'm from Home of the Goree Islands I'm from Senegal, West-side So I'ma share with you where I'm from And how I was comin' up So what you know about the

You're the only way out of this And I am lost again And lovers without sign Sea of lovers losing time And lovers losing hope In the sea of lovers without ships Will you let me follow you Wherever you go Bring me home

With you here, I am home But here won't last too long The hardest love is when you're gone, no Keep running back to the last time Tell me everything’s in you baby And all your welcoming words never phase me Your hazy, welcoming eyes were my safety Tell

Please forgive me Love is a game we play If you love me I'm right here Come back here Go, go (from this point on it's up to you) Then don't leave me Yeah, empty rooms Looking at a photo with a kiss and a come home soon
