Simmer
Mahalia feat. Burna Boy Lyrics

Sometimes, you love too hard
At times, you may overcommit yourself to a level of deep affection that you cannot handle

Sometimes, you go too far
At times, you may exceed the acceptable limits in your relationships

Now I won't want you if you need me
If you become overly dependent on me, I may lose interest in being with you

Real things do not come easy, no
Genuine relationships require consistent effort and patience

Never been your average girl
I am not ordinary; my expectations and experiences are not what you may consider typical

So take time with me, take time
I need you to be patient and willing to invest time in getting to know me better

Baby, talk to me with some action
I am not interested in empty promises and words; I need to see your actions reflect your words

We can find a place for your passion, oh
We can explore shared interests and create a space for your enthusiasm

Sometimes, I want you close
There are times when I desire your presence and intimacy

Sometimes, I want my space
There are also occasions when I need personal time to myself

Just know I'm gonna call if I need you
I want you to know that I will reach out to you when I need your support

It's not my job to please you, no
My primary responsibility is not to fulfill your every desire or expectation

Boy, you make it too hard for me to stay here
Your behaviors make it challenging for me to continue our relationship

Boy, you're making it hard for me to be your love, love
Your actions and attitudes are putting a strain on our romantic connection

Baby, don't make me tell you this
I don't want to have to explain this to you, but I will if you force me to

I won't waste no time, I'll be proceeding quick
I won't hesitate to move on if our relationship is not progressing smoothly

The way you're moving lately got me feeling sick
Your recent actions have made me feel uneasy and upset

Like say you've forgotten who you're dealing with
It appears as though you have disregarded my unique qualities and needs

Man, ah real bread winner, me work nonstop
I am a hard-working person and achieve success through relentless effort

You no cook no dinner when I come back
You do not even bother to prepare meals when I return home

Something wrong with ya, come out from that
There is an issue with your attitude or behavior, and you need to address it

If me walk and leave ya, me nah come back
If I decide to leave our relationship, I will not return

You're falling, but you don't wanna fall too hard
You are experiencing feelings of love but are afraid of getting hurt or consumed by them

You're falling, but you don't wanna fall apart
You are trying to balance your emotions and maintain control of yourself

And you hold on too hard (Too hard, too hard)
You tend to become overly attached or clingy when you care deeply for someone

Boy, you make it too hot for me to stay here
Your behavior or attitude is becoming too intense for me to remain in this relationship
