Take me back to the place I love Take me back to the place I love 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)
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)
