Come back, come back, come back to me
Kae kae wo tirim sɛ me ne wo ayɛ bi pɛn
Old school boy, come back to me
Come back, come back, come back to me (darling)
Come back, come back, come back to me
Kae kae wo tirim sɛ me ne wo ayɛ bi pɛn
Old school girl, come back to me
1 2x
Kae kae wo tirim sɛ me ne wo ayɛ bi pɛn
Bonks asɛe, na me ne wo na ɛsa bɔ mu

Hamburg asɛe, ɔdɔ me ne wo ara
Shu pe ru asɛe, ɔdɔ me ne wo ara
Old school boy (girl), come back to me
