lyrics

That afro is oh so natural
Tell me how you make it grow
Tell me cuz I need to know

That afro is putting on quite a show
and maybe I need to know you better

Walking down the street
I keep on looking at my feet
Cuz everybody that I meet
They always want to talk to me

Now I can’t fathom why
I guess I am a friendly guy
But then I look into their eyes
And that’s when I realize they think

That afro is oh so natural
Tell me how you make it grow
Tell me cuz I need to know

That afro is putting on quite a show
and maybe I need to know you better

I was minding my business
When someone came to me in distress
They keep asking me questions
And I’m just wondering what is this

They keep telling me their problems
And I don’t know how I can solve them
But they just keep on saying Harlem
And now I know just what they’re wanting

That afro is oh so natural
Tell me how you make it grow
Tell me cuz I need to know

That afro is putting on quite a show
and maybe I need to know you better

Please don’t touch it
I know you love it
But I’m tryna walk in
This supermarket

And I love it too
But I think you knew
You wouldn’t put hands in my food
So why you put hands in my 'do

That afro is oh so natural
Tell me how you make it grow
Tell me cuz I need to know

That afro is putting on quite a show
and maybe I need to know you better
