Yeah, yeah, you are my African Queen, oooh Lord, oooh Lord
Just like the sun lights up the earth, you light up my life.
The only one I've ever seen with a smile so bright.
and just yesterday, you came around my way,
and changed my whole scenery with your astonishing beauty.
Oh, you coulda make a brother sing
you ordinary thing, a supernatural being.
I know you are brighter than the moon,
brighter than the star,
I love you just the way you are.
You are my African Queen,
the girl of my dreams,
you take me where I've never been,
you make my heart go ting-a-ling-a-ling, oh ahh.
You are my African Queen,
the girl of my dreams,
and you remind me of a thing,
and that is the African beauty.

Out of a million you stand as one, the outstanding one.
I look into your eyes, girl, what I see is paradise,
you captivated my soul,
now everyday I want you more.
How can I deny this feeling, I'm feeling inside?
Ey, oh no one can ever take your place,can never take your space,
that's a fact I cannot erase,
and you, you are the one that makes me smile,
make me float like a boat upon the Nile.

See I know what I am feeling in my heart and in my soul,

and I know that this love was surely sent from up above
'cause you're the only one I think of.
You are my African Queen and I know that this means that you're the only one that I will serve
I'll give you my heart, my love, my body and my money,
every other thing you think of.

Who could think of ever hurting you?
Sacrifice my all, I'll give it all to you.
