Protoje Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Say you should come my way
Though you don't see
I know one day that you must be my lady
For only time will show if Jah will make this grow
Though you don't see
I know one day that you must be my lady
That you must be my baby
I'm more patient than I have ever been
Goosebumps me get with every grin
Your smile illuminating everything
Spirit emanating, blessing in
A way that makes my day
In your presence and it evident
Better queen make a better king
So make we elevate from lesser things
And emulate to be better beings
I'll demonstrate what forever means
So what you got to say to me?
Say you should come my way
Though you don't see
I know one day that you must be my lady
For only time will show if Jah will make this grow
For you should come my way
Though you don't see
I know one day that you must be my lady
That you must be my baby
And you without me, it couldn't right
It’s like have a room full a weed and don't give me no light
And don't do me no spite, I'm a lover not a fighter
Diss all me queen and see what happen in the night yah
Every time me sight you, your presence is a delight too
A nuh Delilah inside ah you
Despite them other guys weh a try with you
Hold your space beside me, I invite you to
Say you should come my way
Though you don't see
I know one day that you must be my lady
For only time will show if Jah will make this grow
For you should come my way
Though you don't see
I know one day that you must be my lady
That you must be my baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Must be my lady
Must be my baby
You, you, you, you, you, you
Must be my
You, you
Must be my lady
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
