My baby


(Banda-lay-la, my love)

I need ya


(Banda-lay-la, my love)


Oh, oh, I want ya

(Banda-lay-la)


Hold on, I'm comin' for ya


(Banda-lay-la)

Hold on, be there to getcha





I rise with the sun and start my existence

With dreams of the day when we'll move away


Far from the hard times, poor town's been givin'


And move on uptown to a better way of livin'




She's not a beauty


And she don't wear fine clothes

Her heart and soul is all I'm livin' for





Hold on

(Banda-lay-la)


Oh, oh, you know I need ya


(Banda-lay-la, my love)

I want ya


(Banda-lay-la)


Hold on, I'm comin' for ya

(Banda-lay-la)


Hold on, be there to getcha




I'll be the fella to save his Cinderella


By turnin' her dream world into real life


One day soon, I'm gonna carry Bandala away

And make her my wife





We're gonna make it, baby

(Banda-lay-la, my love)


Be there to getcha


(Banda-lay-la)

Hold on, I'm comin' for ya

(Banda-lay-la, my love)




You know I want ya


(Banda-lay-la my love)

Oh, you know I need ya

(Banda-lay-la, my love)


You know I want ya

(Banda-lay-la, my love)




Hey, my baby

(Banda-lay-la, my love)


You know I want ya

(Banda-lay-la, my love)

We're gonna make it, baby
