When I tell those boring jokes
See the way that you look at me
Now you're saying your mind
I know it's no longer a joke
But at first it was a joke to me
I bin dey see am for your eyes
I'm really not surprised that you feel the way you do
Don't let me break your heart
I no wan use you do mumu
This is the truth this is the truth
I'm not in love with you I'm not in love with you
Don't tell me this means more to you
Means more to you
I know I need somebody too
I need somebody too
But I'm not the one for you
I hope you know that I know you are so special to me
No be as you dey see am o
See my love for you is as platonic as can be
Oh baby just free am o
I no wan spoil wetin we get
So please don't hold your breathe
Don't wanna make it worse for you don't wanna make it worse for you
Feelings come and feelings go
But baby trust me o
