Hmmmm
You know this thing?
The thing na jeje oh, dey break body booth oh
This life na only one, that's all, finish
It's Omawonder baby, eh
You have a broken heart
And I know it's hurting deep inside, yeah
So many people lie
Well, I know it's really hard to try oh
No don't you look the other way
You're gonna see a brighter day
Don't let this feeling phase the way
You'll surely see a brighter day
You want house but if you kpai, (e don finish be that oh)
You want motor but if you kpai, (e don finish be that oh)
Forget your worries, my person (no go kill yourself oh)

You want house but if you kpai, (e don finish be that oh)
