Thirty-six years deep

Bottle-end glasses, three years old

Long-legged Trini girl

Wooden desks with inkwells

This is how legends unfold

St. Augustine's where we began

I was short and sporty, you were tall

British Bulldog in the yard

I'd usually win but you weren't far

Sleepovers that turned to weeks

Cricklewood secrets we would keep

Tried to camp outside with teddies in tow

Fox noises at ten had us running for home

Cut down your sunflower, decapitated your finger

A\&E trip, that memory lingers

Princess Diana died at 6 AM

Your mum woke us, heartbroken then

We said "okay" and went back to bed

Young and wild, nothing but time ahead

Aww babe! Aww babe!

Thirty-six years and we're still the same

Aww babe! Aww babe!

Poker face locked, two-second eye game

Aww babe! Aww babe!

White wine punches, underestimate

Aww babe! Aww babe!

Stable and funny till you provoke the rage!

Mothers went to Grenayda, left us with your dad

Rest his soul, thought we were angels, that's mad

"We're staying at Yasmine's house!" we lied

Free yard for a week, that Caribbean pride

House parties, liming, drunk episodes

Check in on your dad, then back on the roads

Grounded for shenanigans, we don't remember what

Snuck Alizé with the snacks we bought

mikaylah hanging from your bay window

"I've got her!" you said—by one sock though!

Emma and Chantel burst through the door

Took our alcohol, drank it in her room, we were floored!

Terrorized Michaela with Chucky at night

Emma taught us to wine, we thought we were tight

"Ganja Baby here to make your mind go crazy!"

You were the MC, I was Rampage, so hazy!

Early hours, bus rides from random places

Random people, teenage wild graces

Bladder and Solski? Never happened, babe

Vijay and Charles? Girl, take it to the grave!

Aww babe! Aww babe!

Thirty-six years and we're still the same!

Aww babe! Aww babe!

Poker face locked, two-second eye game!

Aww babe! Aww babe!

White wine punches, underestimate!

Aww babe! Aww babe!

Stable and funny till you provoke the rage!

You pace when you're thinking

Leave conversations when you're not interested

Mid-sentence, Sophie goes AWOL

That's the energy, never contested

Like a deer—tall, majestic, slightly clumsy

Warns me of danger when things get jumpy

Magnetic energy keeps your tribe near

Protected and laughing year after year

We shared a bath together, no shame

Millennium Dome with El and Phebs, what a game

Experienced dating friends—bad idea, yeah

Argued like sisters but the love's still here

Genuwin and Usher, hairbrush microphones

Head out the Wembley window, in the zone

Shepherds Bush experiences we won't name

Golf Links memories, wild and untame

Aww babe! Aww babe!

Thirty-six years and we're still the same!

Aww babe! Aww babe!

If you ask me to lie, I'll take the blame!

Aww babe! Aww babe!

White wine punches, underestimate!

Aww babe! Aww babe!

Intelligent wit with devastating aim!

Thank you for those mad childhood years

Camping adventures, mother's holiday disappears

Lying to your dad, staying weeks not days

Thirty-plus years, through all the phases

If you mishandle her, she'll respond

With intelligence, wit, and a devastating bond

From three years old with bottle-end glasses

To forty years of pure icon status

Aww babe... (echo)

Aww babe... (vocal chops)

Thirty-six years... (fade)

And we're still the same... (atmospheric synths fade)
