The song "I Love You" by Nigerian music duo P-Square is a love song with a twist. The lyrics reveal a man's distress over the lies of his lover. The song's opening lines, "Na today, e don dey, girl you know say me I no dey lie," suggest that the man has discovered his lover's deception, and his pain is palpable. He questions the authenticity of her love, saying "Tell me which kind lie be this." He is torn between his feelings for her and the betrayal he feels because of her lies.
The song's chorus is particularly poignant, as the man questions the validity of his lover's feelings. He sings, "You say your love no dey lie, see me girl I dey cry, oh no" and repeats "Na today, eyah e don tey," suggesting that he's been holding on to this pain for a while. He also accuses her of being a "playa" who wants to break his heart and turn his life "upside down." The song's bridge contains a call and response section consisting of "Girl, wetin I do you," and "I dey try to let you know say I like you pass my Mama," which suggests that the man is willing to forgive her lies if she comes clean.
Overall, "I Love You" is a song about love in the face of deceit. The man's raw emotion is evident in the lyrics, and the music adds to the song's intensity. P-Square's use of fusion-style Afro-pop, R&B, and Hip-hop musical genres makes for a unique listening experience.
