1974, that's the year
I went straight home 'cause I had so much to fear
I had dreamed for oh so long
That one day I'd be going home
There's so much gossip in the town
Nobody knows what's really going down
Stench, smells, I couldn't stand it
The dirtier you are, the more you're here
Oh I got to go
Oh the man at the door
Run as fast as you can
God is holding me hand
When I first got to Africa, I was glad
I thought at last I wouldn't be had
So I went to a disco-tech one night
And danced myself right out of sight
What I mean is this, I went with a friend
We sat through the night, right through the end
The music was American and oh so good
So I jumped up just where I could
Oh I got to go
Oh the man at the door
Run as fast as you can
God is holding me hand
Party start movin' all around
I was so happy to be in town
And as I slowly began to strip
Everyone thought I was so hip
I danced all over the place you know
All over the ceiling, all over the floor
Up in the balcony, all around
I felt so good just being in town
Oh I got to go
Oh the man at the door
Run as fast as you can
Oh God is holding me hand
My joy was so complete you know
My friend was happy, he said "go go!"
I danced for hours, hours on end
I said "dear lord, you are my friend"
He brought me home to Liberia
And all other places are inferior
He brought me home to Liberia
And all other places are inferior
Oh I got to go
Oh the man at the door
Run as fast as you can
God is holding me hand
Run as fast as you can
God is holding me hand
Mmm uh do do do doo
Run Nina] Dodo do do do doo
I went straight home 'cause I had so much to fear
I had dreamed for oh so long
That one day I'd be going home
There's so much gossip in the town
Nobody knows what's really going down
Stench, smells, I couldn't stand it
The dirtier you are, the more you're here
Oh I got to go
Oh the man at the door
Run as fast as you can
God is holding me hand
When I first got to Africa, I was glad
I thought at last I wouldn't be had
So I went to a disco-tech one night
And danced myself right out of sight
What I mean is this, I went with a friend
We sat through the night, right through the end
The music was American and oh so good
So I jumped up just where I could
Oh I got to go
Oh the man at the door
Run as fast as you can
God is holding me hand
Party start movin' all around
I was so happy to be in town
And as I slowly began to strip
Everyone thought I was so hip
I danced all over the place you know
All over the ceiling, all over the floor
Up in the balcony, all around
I felt so good just being in town
Oh I got to go
Oh the man at the door
Run as fast as you can
Oh God is holding me hand
My joy was so complete you know
My friend was happy, he said "go go!"
I danced for hours, hours on end
I said "dear lord, you are my friend"
He brought me home to Liberia
And all other places are inferior
He brought me home to Liberia
And all other places are inferior
Oh I got to go
Oh the man at the door
Run as fast as you can
God is holding me hand
Run as fast as you can
God is holding me hand
Mmm uh do do do doo
Run Nina] Dodo do do do doo
