Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Girl you know I'm coming)
(Just to...)
I'm from America
She from South Africa (Cape Town)
Girl you know I'm from the States (Yeh)
But I'll come back for ya
I'ma grab you by the waste (Waste)
I'ma fly you to my place (Yeh)
So baby start packing up (Pack ya shit and lets go)
Girl you know I'm coming back
Girl you know I'm coming back
Girl you know I'm coming back
Just to see your face
Girl you know I'm coming back
Girl you know I'm coming back (Coming back)
Girl you know I'm coming back (For you)

F*** around turn up on Long Street

But girl I know you tired of that (Shorty tired)
So you know I'm coming back
Just to see your face
(Let's go to Long street baby)
(Girl you know I'm coming)
(Just to)
