Excuse me, sweet thing, may I ask your name?
She said Yolanda, and may I ask the same?
I said Essential, and can I make you mine?
But she played me to the left, and the first thing hit my mind was

Oh, yeah, yeah, oh ee Yolanda
Oh, yeah, yeah, you look so fine
Oh, yeah, yeah, oh ee Yolanda
Oh, yeah, yeah, you look so fine

That same night, as I laid in bed
Yolanda, Yolanda, all that was in my head
So I tried to figure out how to make her mine
And I'm thinking to myself that it's gonna take some time

I said
Oh, yeah, yeah, oh ee Yolanda
Oh, yeah, yeah, you look so fine
Oh, yeah, yeah, oh ee Yolanda
Oh, yeah, yeah, you look so fine

Hey donada, hey, hey donada
Hey Yolanda, you look so fine
Hey donada, hey, hey donada
Hey Yolanda, you look so fine

What I need is a damn good program
Essential, Essential, don't play yourself, my man
But she's driving me crazy, and I just can't understand
Yolanda, Yolanda, I've got to be your man

Oh, yeah, yeah, oh ee Yolanda
Oh, yeah, yeah, you look so fine
Oh, yeah, yeah, oh ee Yolanda
Oh, yeah, yeah, you look so fine

Yo Yolanda, why you frontin' the moves?
Step to reality, get with the groove
It's the cool rock steady, I wanna work you, girl
Make your body sweaty

But you keep playing the role
Yo Yolanda, why you got me on hold?
Give me a chance this time, we can talk
Relax, then wine and dine

I hope you know that I'm crazy about you
I brag all the time about you to the crew
Let me explain Yolanda to the world
She's my just one type of girl

You can find her hangin' out in the clubs
Yolanda looks good, shakin' her stuff
And oh, yeah, by the way, she's the best
Yolanda is fresh!

Oh, yeah, yeah, oh ee Yolanda
Oh, yeah, yeah, you look so fine
Oh, yeah, yeah, oh ee Yolanda
Oh, yeah, yeah, you look so fine

Yolanda, Yolanda, Yolanda, alright
Yolanda, Yolanda, Yolanda, you look so fine
Yolanda, Yolanda, Yolanda, alright
Yolanda, Yolanda, Yolanda, you look so fine

Oh, yeah, yeah, oh ee Yolanda
Oh, yeah, yeah, you look so fine
Oh, yeah, yeah, oh ee Yolanda
Oh, yeah, yeah, you look so fine

Oh, yeah, yeah, oh ee Yolanda
Oh, yeah, yeah, you look so fine
Oh, yeah, yeah, oh ee Yolanda
Oh, yeah, yeah, you look so fine

Yolanda, Yolanda, alright
Yolanda, Yolanda, Yolanda, you look so fine
Yolanda, Yolanda, alright
Yolanda, Yolanda, Yolanda, you look so fine

Oh, yeah, yeah, oh ee Yolanda
Oh, yeah, yeah, you look so fine
Oh, yeah, yeah, oh ee Yolanda
Oh, yeah, yeah, you look so fine
