Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey Isabella

Are you gonna come out and dance, with me tonight?

The stars look beautiful, outside, so-so beautiful

Tell your mama I said sorry

[Verse 2]

I didn't bring you home early, last time

And I was a little tipsy

I know she doesn't miss me

So put on those shoes, that I like

And we'll go, and dance the night away

[Verse 3]

Away, yeah

Because yolo, yolo

You only live once

So, and me I wanna have some fun

Vunja mifupa kama meno iko

[Verse 4]

Up and away we go

And spend all my money on you baby

'Cause I can't take it with me when I'm dead

So tonight, tonight

We are young, high, and in love

[Verse 5]

Isabella

One day I'll be a superstar

We'll go to America

A big show in a stadium

Wooh-wooh-wooh-wooh

Isabella

Today we bodaboda

Tomorrow we motorcar (Ah-ah-ah)

Nisikilize baby

[Verse 6]

So put on the dress that hugs you tight

And we'll go, and dance the night away

Away, away, with you

[Chorus]

Yolo, yolo, you only live once

So, me I wanna have some fun

Vunja mifupa kama meno iko

[Chorus]

Up and away we go

And spend all my money on you baby

'Cause I can't take it with me when I'm dead

So tonight, tonight

We are young, high, and in love

[Chorus]

Yolo, yolo, you only live once

So, me I wanna have some fun

Vunja mifupa kama meno iko

[Chorus]

Up and away we go

And spend all my money on you baby

'Cause I can't take it with me when I'm dead

So tonight, tonight

We are young, high, and in love
