Officially Yours - Craig David

[Intro]
Oh yeah yes
La da day, la da day
La da da da da oh

[Verse 1]
Thinkin' how the story goes
You're helpless and I'm wishin'
Put the film inside my mind
But there's a big scene that I'm missin'
As I re-read my lines
I think I said this, I should've said that
Did you edit me out of your mind
'Cos in a flash you had disappeared, gone (gone)
Before the curtain falls
And we act this out again
Maybe I should risk it all and state

[Chorus]
That I'm officially going on the record
To say I'm in love with you
I'm officially everything you hope that I would be
This time I'll tell the truth
I'm officially wrong I know
For letting you go the way I did
Unconditionally more than I ever was before
I'm officially yours
La da day, la da day
La da da da da oh

[Verse 2]
Travellin' down this road again
Gotta make a few decisions
Don't want you to feel this hurt again
That's why I'm hopin' that you'll listen
If you let me press rewind
I'll rehearse every word I should have said
'Cos girl I'm ready to make things right
Here on this stage so we can move on (on)
And before the curtain falls
And we act this out again
Missin' pieces I'll resolve so stay

[Chorus]
I'm officially going on the record
To say I'm in love with you
I'm officially everything you hope that I would be
This time I'll tell the truth
I'm officially wrong I know
For letting you go the way I did
Unconditionally more than I ever was before

[Bridge]
Things I should have said
Like I appreciate the time that I spend with you
Inspire me with the smile I put on your pretty face
My world comes alive, now I know (now I know it babe)
This time I'm not letting go
'Cos I'm officially yours (oh oh)

[Chorus]
Officially everything you hope that I would be
This time I'll tell the truth
I'm officially wrong I know
For letting you go the way I did
Unconditionally more than I ever was before

I'm officially going on the record
To say I'm in love with you
I'm officially everything you hope that I would be
This time I'll tell the truth
I'm officially wrong I know
For letting you go the way I did
Unconditionally more than I ever was before

[Outro]
Girl I'm unconditionally yours (oh yeah)
Officially yours, your man (La da day, la da day, la da day)
Girl I'm unconditionally yours (La da da da da oh)
Officially yours, I am

Girl I'm unconditionally yours (listen what I'm tryna say)
Officially yours, your man (oh oh)
Girl I'm unconditionally yours
Officially yours, I am

Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps

You won't admit you love me, and so,
How am I ever, to know,
You always tell me.
Perhaps. Perhaps. Perhaps.

A million times I've asked you, and then,
I ask you over, again,
You only answer.
Perhaps. Perhaps. Perhaps.

Chorus :

If you can't make your mind up,
We'll never, get started.
And I don't wanna wind up,
Being parted, broken hearted.

So if you really love me, say yes,
But if you don't dear, confess,
And please don't tell me.
Perhaps. Perhaps. Perhaps.

(musical interlude)

Perhaps. Perhaps. Perhaps.

Chorus :

If you can't make your mind up,
We'll never, get started.
And I don't wanna wind up,
Being parted, broken hearted.

So if you really love me, say yes,
But if you don't dear, confess,
And please don't tell me.
Perhaps. Perhaps. Perhaps.
Perhaps. Perhaps. Perhaps.
Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps.

Waka Waka

Waka music is a popular Islamic-oriented Yoruba musical genre. It was made popular by Alhaja Batile Alake from Ijebu, who took the genre into the mainstream Nigerian music by playing it at concerts and parties; also, she was the first waka singer to record an album. Later, younger singers like Salawa Abeni and Kuburatu Alaragbo joined the pack. In 1992, Salawa Abeni was crowned "Queen of Waka" by the Alafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi.

At the opening of the 2010 football world cup, Shakira, the singer with Lebanese roots started the festivities with a an African song called WAKA-WAKA.

"Waka Waka" was also a 60s song by the Nigerian musician, Fela Kuti, and it's on the third disc of Highlife-Jazz and Afro-Soul.
