[Intro] (Soft ocean waves, warm guitar plucks, airy vocal chops) Oh-oh, yeah-yeah ZĀRIYĀ Underneath the golden sky Baby, you and I Tropical love tonight [Verse 1] Saw you dancing where the palm trees sway Gold on your skin, got me losing my way You gave me that look, I forgot my name One little smile and nothing feels the same Sea breeze moving through your linen shirt Barefoot steps in the golden dirt No reservations, no place to be Just your heartbeat calling out to me [Pre-Chorus] Closer, closer, don’t let go Feel the rhythm taking control Your lips are sweet like mango wine Boy, tonight your heart meets mine [Chorus] Love in the tropics, kiss me like you mean it Hot like the summer, baby, I can feel it Under the moonlight, bodies moving slowly You got me, you got me, nobody knows me Love in the tropics, sweet like pineapple Give me that feeling, make it unforgettable Oh-na-na, we don’t need no reason You and me in the summertime season [Post-Chorus] Tropics, tropics, eh-eh Give me that tropical kiss Tropics, tropics, yeah-yeah Nobody does it like this Oya, oya, come closer to me Oya, oya, just follow the beat Tropics, tropics, eh-eh You got me lost in your kiss [Verse 2] Midnight blue with the stars so bright Your hand in mine and the world feels right From Lagos heat to the island shore Every little touch makes me want you more Your waistline speaks when the drumbeat drops DJ spin it back, let the whole world watch No champagne needed, just you and the sea You’re the only kind of paradise I need [Pre-Chorus] Closer, closer, don’t let go Feel the rhythm taking control Your lips are sweet like mango wine Boy, tonight your heart meets mine [Chorus] Love in the tropics, kiss me like you mean it Hot like the summer, baby, I can feel it Under the moonlight, bodies moving slowly You got me, you got me, nobody knows me Love in the tropics, sweet like pineapple Give me that feeling, make it unforgettable Oh-na-na, we don’t need no reason You and me in the summertime season [Afrobeats Breakdown] (Beat strips back: log drums, shakers, hand percussion and bass) Oya now, oya now Make you move your body down low Oya now, oya now Take it easy, take it slow Gimme that, gimme that, tropical vibe Left to the left, let your body decide Gimme that, gimme that, all through the night When the drum goes boom, we come alive (Deep log drum enters, call-and-response vocals) ZĀRIYĀ! (Eh-eh!) Where you wanna go? (To the coast!) How you wanna love? (Nice and slow!) When the beat drops down, everybody lose control! (Instrumental dance break: log drums, talking drum accents, syncopated percussion, vocal chops saying “Tropics!”) Eh-ya, eh-ya Tropi-cal love Eh-ya, eh-ya Never enough [Bridge] When the morning comes, will you stay with me? When the stars fade out, will you still believe? No matter where the ocean takes us to Every summer leads me back to you Oh, this ain’t just a holiday You’re the one I wanna wake up to someday From the sunset till the sunrise glow Baby, there’s one thing I need you to know [Final Chorus] Love in the tropics, kiss me like you mean it Hot like the summer, baby, I can feel it Under the moonlight, bodies moving slowly You got me, you got me, nobody knows me Love in the tropics, sweet like pineapple Give me that feeling, make it unforgettable Oh-na-na, we don’t need no reason You and me in the summertime season [Final Post-Chorus] Tropics, tropics, eh-eh Give me that tropical kiss Tropics, tropics, yeah-yeah Nobody does it like this Oya, oya, come closer to me Oya, oya, just follow the beat Tropics, tropics, eh-eh You got me lost in your kiss [Outro] (Beat fades into ocean waves and soft guitar) Love in the tropics Just you and me Tropical Kiss, baby ZĀRIYĀ Oh-na-na, stay with me
