Oh NaiaHow can I make it up to you?For I've gone to LisbonBut I brought you nothing
I bought a TV setwith VHS and DVD playerA computer for my sonAnd a doll for my younger daughterMy grandmother asked for thisMy father asked for thatHow was I supposed to pay for all?It's hard when we have no moneyAt the immigration: "Ma'am, your luggage is too heavyYou have to pay for the excess"Now, where is the money to do so?So I started speaking creolepretending I wasn't understanding himThen he goes: "Ma'am, please hurry,I ain't got all day"
Oh NaiaHow can I make it up to you?For I've gone to LisbonBut I brought you nothing
