I Want Those Flashing Lights Lyrics
You got your name in lights
But they can't seem to spell mine right
You sold a mil today
Today I'm lucky if I get paid
If I could get paid
I'd survive another day
Maybe if I could get played
They'd know my name

Your girls are fine it seems
A dime or two in every dozen
I only wanted one but I'm no one
So I get nothing
But all this nothing I've got
Is all that's keeping me tough
Maybe this thing I've got is enough

Ch.

When I'm alone and the lights go off
I'm never sure if I can make it that far
All that I know is
I want those
I want those
I want those flashing lights...

V2

You dropped the class re-wrote the books
and I'm still trying to pass
I'm at the back, professor, a question
what is the secret to these (flashing lights)
Is it just make believe
It's not easy
Wish it as ABC

You did your time
You broke your wire
And now you got your shine
I'm in the line
Lost in the crowd
Still trying to figure it out

Still trying to do it right
Still trying to find the light
Maybe not tonight

Ch.

When I'm alone and the lights go off
I'm never sure if I can make it that far
All that I know is
I want those
I want those
I want those flashing lights...

When you're all alone and the lights go off
Did you always know that you would make it this far
All that I know is
I want those
I want those
I want those flashing lights..

19 Sure Signs That You Are At a Naija Party


1. Almost everyone arrives at the party late - hence the reference, "African time".

2. You were given one invitation card, but you invite 20 other friends (who can also invite 2 or 3 of their own friends).

3. You call the attention of the people serving food by saying "Please we haven't eaten in this area o!"

4. Even when it was obvious that no alcohol was served, you still ask "Don't you have any alcohol?

5. At a kids party scheduled to start at 5pm and finishing at 12am, you arrive with kids (some of them already sleeping) at 11pm.

6. You go back to ask for more food and drinks.

7. You ask the caretaker of the hired hall to extend the party time by bribing him with money and drinks.

8. The food is served on a 'man know man' they tell you "the moi-moi don finish" despite the fact that a man next to you has 4 on his plate.

9. Most of the guys are frowning and cussing because fufu, semo, gira or eba wasn't served.

10. You hear, "Wetin dem dey wait for sef? I beg make dem bring the food make I comot jo!"

11. Towards the end of the party you see people going into the kitchen helping themselves to "take away" food and drinks.

12. More than two bouncers are at the door that leads to where the foods/drinks are kept.

13. You dance to "Obesere" or "Fela" music as if your life depended on it.

14. You ask the DJ to play a specially recorded cassette tape you brought with you.

15. You hear people talking, as if they are in a fight, about sports and politics.

16. The men are sitting in groups, instead of sitting with their women.

17. On the dance floor, you have women dancing alone or with women and men dancing alone or with men.

18. Most of the guys are hanging around outside, attending to "business" with cellular phones.

19. The hall empties immediately after food has been served.
