So Long
Nadia Batson Lyrics

Oh oh oh
Expressing excitement and anticipation

Is that yuh
Asking for confirmation of the person's identity

Cyah believe that is yuh
Expressing disbelief at seeing the person

So long I aint see yuh
It has been a long time since they last saw each other

Give meh a whine nah
Asking for a dance or physical contact

Gi gi gi give meh a whine nah
Repeating the request for emphasis

Gimme di whine that I want long time
Asking for a specific type of dance or physical contact they haven't had in a while

(Long long time)
Emphasizing how long it has been since they last had that type of physical contact

And let we make up for all this time
Using the physical contact to make up for lost time

Look who
Expressing surprise at seeing the person

Yuh know how long me eh really see yuh
Acknowledging how long it has been since they last saw each other

It coulda be bout a year ah two
Speculating about how long it has been since they last saw each other

Call two drink nah, wha we go do
Asking if they should get drinks together

Been ah while we ain't buss ah lime
It has been a long time since they last hung out

Nothing eh change cause yuh still look fine
Noting that the person still looks attractive

(Look how yuh looking fine)
Repeating the observation for emphasis

I thought yuh hiding
Speculating that the person had been avoiding them

Ah thought yuh went foreign
Speculating that the person had moved away

Look how ting does happen nah
Noting how life can have unexpected twists and turns

So lemme hug up n' squeeze yuh
Expressing desire for physical contact

Ah doh even want to leave yuh
Not wanting the physical contact to end

Ah doh know when we'll bounce up again
Uncertain when they will see each other again

So lemme take a little ting until then
Taking advantage of the opportunity for physical contact before they part ways

It coulda be just last week when I call yuh name
Recalling when they last attempted to contact the person

I did ask your friend and them
Asking other people if they knew how to contact the person

So long I ain't talk to yuh
It has been a long time since they last spoke to each other

Look how funny your in my sight
Noting how amusing it is to see the person unexpectedly

Didn't know yuh was here tonight
Surprised that the person is at the same event

It look like yuh doing alright
Observing that the person seems to be doing well

Like money running rhell nice
Comparing the person's financial situation to how well they appear to be doing

I glad to see yuh meh friend from long long time
Expressing happiness to see a long-time friend

Let we just take ah whine
Suggesting they dance together

Ah wanna hold on together and rock away the whole night
Desiring to spend the entire night together, dancing or otherwise

Doh even want to go
Not wanting to leave each other's company
