Gotta keep ride on searching till I find,

And nothing good comes easy, this I know,

Gotta keep ride on searching till I find.

eh ooouuu, eh ouuu!, ooouuu!

Lee leee, yeh!

I’ve been searching for a woman,

Wey go make all this nonsense to start to dey make sense

I’ve been searching all kinds of places, yeah!

Stumbled many ladies, different races, yeah,

And I almost gave up on love, that my heart feel tired,

So many failed relationships got me sick and tired

if no be me, e go be she, but e must scatter

Now I know, Now I know, Now I know I found my forever (Chai)

Remember what the holy book said,

Gotta keep ride on searching till I find,

And nothing good comes easy, this I know,

Gotta keep ride on searching till I find.

I’ve been searching for, for true love,

I will keep searching till I find.
