‘Tugi Track is our introduction to the guitar virtuoso's tale of longing. His smooth vocals and guitar lines coupled with a silky saxophone riff narrate a tale of wistful desire.
lyrics
She said hello brathe
I said what do you mean
She said why can't you see
I said what's in front of me baby
She said I'm right alright yes
I said I might, just might
She said come talk to me
I said I'll just be a jiffy no fee fi
Gave me her name, she gave me her name
Feeling the same, we're feeling the same same
Feeling no pain, we're feeling no pain
And I've got something to say, something to say
Mmhh oh ya
Can I get to know ya
A little bit more and
We can be just friends and
Imma take you dancing
Love the way you move your hands and
Can I be your man girl
Oh wanana we
We'll take it nice and easy
Do what you do, don't please me
Na ukizunguruka nami nitaruka
Ndani nawe baby
We'll take it nice and steady

Oh na na na baby

She said pole pole kidogo
No need to rush nice and slow
I'll be your girl if you're gentle
There's no need to force an open door
I said okay baby let's hit the floor
I'll be your man from now till four
And you can tell me if I'll get more
Yani eventually do I get to sow oh no
Gave me her name, she gave me her name
Feeling the same, we're feeling the same, same
Feeling no pain, we're feeling no pain
And I've got something to say, something to say
Mmhh oh ya

A little bit more and
We can be just friends and
Imma a take you dancing
Love the way you move your hands and
Can I be your man girl
