Manila
Amber Davis

Take me back to the place I love

Take me back to the place I love, uhuh uhuh

Take me back to the place I love

Take me back to the place I love


I remember when were kids

Having bar-b-ques in the bukid

When the brownouts came, we were never alone

We just played in the streets til the lights came on


Six o'clock in the mornin'

Bakery just opened

You can smell the bread, they was cooking from a mile away

Ain't nothing like a fresh piece to start your day in...


CHORUS

Manila (Manila, Manila)

I'm comin' back to Manila

The only place that I call home (home)

I'm comin' back to...


Manila (Manila, Manila)

I'm comin' back to Manila

The only place that I call home (home)


Signal to the jeepney (pick me up)

Take me to the place where (I grew up)

Back to the kids in the park where we played all day

Some had a shed for a home but it was all okay


'Cause in Manila, we all the same

Everybody's waiting for things to change

In the barrio, that's how it is

We didn't care much 'cause we were kids, oh


CHORUS

Manila (Manila, Manila)

I'm comin' back to Manila

The only place that I call home (home)

I'm comin' back to...


Manila (Manila, Manila)

I'm comin' back to Manila

The only place that I call home (home)


RAP

I've been gone for a minute but I'm on the next flight

And the plane man says we can make it by night

Can't wait to touch down in my old hometown

Had a girl, we used to kick it but I doubt she's still around, yo


It's all good 'cause I'm back in the jungle

Where the girls in bikinis all come in a bundle

And pain and poverty is everywhere

But when the smoke all clears, there's only love in the air


I've been gone too long

I'm coming home


Gone too long

I'm comin' home (comin' back to the place I love)

Gone too long

I'm comin' home (comin' back to the place I love)

I'm comin' back to Manila


Yo yo yo yo

I say, babalik ako sa Manila, Manila

Babalik ako sa Manila, Manila

Babalik ako sa Manila, Manila

Babalik ako, babalik ako, babalik

Babalik ako sa Manila, Manila

Babalik ako sa Manila, Manila

Babalik ako sa Manila, Manila

Babalik ako, babalik ako, babalik


I'm comin' home (Manila, Manila, Manila, Manila)

I'm comin' back to Manila (comin' back to the place I love)

I'm comin' back to Manila (Manila, Manila, Manila, Manila)

I'm comin' back to Manila (comin' back to the place I love)

(Manila, Manila, Manila, Manila, Manila)

(Comin' back to the place I love)

Comin' back to the place I love

Comin' back to the place I love

Comin' back to the place I love (whoa)
