[Intro:]

[Verse 1:]
Lady (lady)
I know wan make you dey call me your baby (baby)
Cause last night I saw you on my mercedes (mercedes)
Hanging out with this guy called Davies (Davies)
Oh baby (baby)
That was crazy (that was crazy)
I just sit down looking while you were playzy (playzy)
And when you saw me, you were acting so shady (shady)
Girl, no wonder you've been acting so lazy (lazy)
Oh baby

[Hook:]
Any time wey I dey call you, you dey hang up
You keep telling your all friends you wanna break up
Like you fucked up
[Chorus:]
I'm telling you this game is over
Pack your bag leave
I no dey feel this love anymore

Pack your bag leave
Eh eh, go go [x2]
This game is over (make you dey waka dey go)

The song Game Over by Psquare depicts a romantic relationship that has reached an unfavorable point. The male vocalist of the song, Peter, narrates his dissatisfaction with the relationship, as there are signs that his partner, probably a lady, is cheating on him with a guy called Davies. He is disappointed that she has been acting shady, and he is confirming that their relationship is over. He also mentions the fact that she has been ignoring his calls and has been telling her friends that she wants to call it quits. Peter tells his partner to leave his life and that he no longer feels the love he once felt. The chorus, "I'm telling you this game is over, pack your bags and leave," is a clear indication that he doesn't want to continue the relationship.
Furthermore, it seems that Peter's partner doesn't care about their relationship as much as he does, making him feel foolish for being so invested. The lyrics, "You're playing me for a fool, I'm telling you this game is over," highlights the feeling of being played for a fool. Peter is trying to make his partner realize that their relationship is over and that it is time to move on.
In general, the song is about the end of a relationship and the hurt that comes with it, but also the realization that sometimes, it's better to let go.
