INTRO:



My baby! (Banda-lay-la, my love)

I need ya! (Banda-lay-la, my love)

Oh, oh, I want ya! (Banda-lay-la, my love)

Hold on! I'm comin' for ya

(Banda-lay-la) Hold on! Be there to getcha!





I rise with the sun and start my existence

with dreams of the day when we'll move away

Far from the hard times poor town's been givin'

and move on uptown to a better way of livin'





She's not a beauty and she don't wear fine clothes

Her heart and soul is all I'm livin' for

Hold on! (Banda-lay-la) Oh, oh, you know I need ya!

(Banda-lay-la, my love) I want ya!

(Banda-lay-la) Hold on, I'm comin' for ya!

(Banda-lay-la) Hold on! Be there to getcha!



I'll be the fella to save his Cinderella

by turnin' her dream world into real life

One day soon, I'm gonna carry Bandala away and make her my wife



We're gonna make it, baby! (Banda-lay-la, my love)

Be there to getcha! (Banda-lay-la) Hold on! I'm comin' for ya!

(Banda-lay-la, my love) You know I want ya!

(Banda-lay-la) Oh! You know I need ya!

(Banda-lay-la, my love) You know I want ya!

(Banda-lay-la) Hey! My baby!

(Banda-lay-la, my love) You know I want ya!

(Banda-lay-la, my love) We're gonna make it, baby!
