I dey wonder wonder wonder
As I dey ponder ponder ponder
Still dey wonder wonder wonder
Why me

Dem dey try to penetrate
Dem dey try to relegate
Some dey try to imitate
Don't try me

Some are dancing to makossa
Some are feeling the afro
Some are grooving to calypso
Some are dancing to my own oh

Don't you try to understand me
I'm just doing doing my thing
Living living living my dreams

Pata Pata
Bad belle dem fit try me
But dey can't take my shine
Lai Lai
Dey can't take my shine o
Dey can't take my shine
Lai Lai
Dey can't take my shine o
Dey can't take my shine
Pata Pata
Bad belle dem fit try me
But dey can't take my shine

Hey

See I believe in me, see I believe in me
(I just had to make it)
Nobody stopping me, nobody stopping me
(I just have to make it)
Look how we're living now
Look how we're living now
(The blessings are coming)
And they will never stop
And they will never stop
(As long as I'm living)

Some are dancing to makossa
Some are feeling the afro
Some are grooving to calypso
Some are dancing to my own oh

Don't you try to understand me
I'm just doing doing my thing
Living living living my dreams

Pata Pata
Bad belle dem fit try me
But dey can't take my shine
Lai Lai
Dey can't take my shine o
Dey can't take my shine
Lai Lai
Dey can't take my shine o
Dey can't take my shine
Pata Pata
Bad belle dem fit try me
But dey can't take my shine

Nothing dey can do
Nothing dey can change
Nothing dey can ever do
Nothing dey can say eh eh eh eh eh
Can't take my shine o
Dey can't take my shine

Pata Pata
Bad belle dem fit try me
But dey can't take my shine
Lai Lai
Dey can't take my shine o
Dey can't take my shine
Lai Lai
Dey can't take my shine o
Dey can't take my shine
Pata Pata
Bad belle dem fit try me
But dey can't take my shine
