[Intro]
Maraming beses na kitang nilayasan
Iniwanan at iba ang pinuntahan
Parang bababeng ang hirap talagang malimutan
Ikaw lamang ang aking laging binabalikan
[Verse 1]
Manila, I keep coming back to Manila
Simply, no place like Manila
Manila, I'm coming home
I walked the streets of San Francisco
I've tried the rides in Disneyland
Dated a million girls in Sydney
Somehow I feel like I don't belong
[Chorus]
Hinahanap-hanap kita, Manila
Ang ingay mong kay sarap sa tenga
Mga jeepney mong nagliliparan
Mga babae mong naggagandahan
Take me back in your arms, Manila
And promise me you'll never let go
Promise me you'll never let go
[Verse 2]
Manila, Manila, I keep coming back to Manila
Simply ain't no place like Manila
Manila, I'm coming home
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Hinahanap-hanap kita, Manila
Ang ingay mong kay sarap sa tenga
Mga jeepney mong nagliliparan
Mga babae mong naggagandahan
Take me back in your arms, Manila
And promise me you'll never let go
Promise me you'll never let go
[Outro]
Manila, Manila
Miss you like hell, Manila
No place in the world like Manila
I'm coming home to stay
