Sitting at home with your woman gone
Everyday you hear the same song
She's out late and never makes time for you
Same place but you're worlds apart
Same dreams you both once had
What you live is a life that's so empty

And when she's back she wants to relax
She lays [bad word]  no questions asked
It doesn't bother her what you do
And when she [bad word] around
Its all about why is this, why is that
tell me how long can you pull through

She can't love you like I can
She can't make you feel like the man
That you are its time you took a look at you
She will never treat you right
It doesn't make no sense to hold tight
What you need is this African Girl
African Girl

She loves you but never has the time
Yeah she cares but is she ever there
Its tough love I don't really think so
You speak its hard for her to listen
What you need she doesn't understand
She could never give you what you want

And when you're out she's wandered again
You spend the night trying to locate your woman
Is she really yours
You say its hard to start again
Its even worse to keep hanging in
Baby you deserve much better

Who knows what you long for
Who knows what you need
Who knows how to love you
And be your everything
I can be your everything
