E don tey wey she see me now
Don tey wey she see me now
E don tey wey she gimme now

Mmh, oh, oh
Omo don dey gimme problems, problem
Say I no dey pick call, I don dey form foreign
After I chop one, I take off

That thing wey happen na set up
That thing wey lead to the break up
And if you don't mind, let's kiss and make up

Still I wan be with you
Still I wan ride for you
Baby, call me on the phone
Anytime that you need some love
You can pull up on the low
Already know how it goes down, yeah
Yeah, baby, call me on my phone
Anytime that you need some love

Am I selfish if I say I want more?
Is it too much to ask for your love?
If I call on you, shey you go pick my call?
It is easier said than it's done
You say you're busy
Got me looking dumb, you got me nagging
Tell me what it is, am I priority?
You got what I want but not what I need
But I don't wanna say goodbye (goodbye)
Got your number on speed dial (speed dial)
I'ma give you one more chance
But gotta to tell everybody that you're mine (mine)
Hold me like you hold me
