Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Yeah, I might be playing games

But I've been hurt before

I don't want to get my heart broken

No, I don't wanna love no more

I'm always on defense

'Cause I know you're a striker

Seen a challenge, so you want more

But me I can't give you anything 'cause

I'm treading carefully

'Cause I don't wanna be a scapegoat

Once bitten, twice shy, I dey hear word

I'm treading carefully

'Cause I don't wanna be a scapegoat

Once bitten, twice shy, I dey hear word

I dey hear word, oh-ah

I hope you don't come running

Hope you don't come running home

When you see somebody

When you see somebody new

Hope you don't come running

Hope you don't come running home

When you see somebody

When you see somebody new

I know you scared of my past mistakes

Oh, my baby

And I no fit pretend say you no go see girls

Wey go give you sure reason, darling

Oh-whoa-whoa

You know they singing my name on the streets on a daily

But na only to your song I go ever listen

Even if e cause issue, darling

Oh, girl, I know you need exclusive loving

Early morning, cellular buzzing

It's how I know you got me falling, falling

How I know you got me falling, falling

And I swear to Bible

I can't breathe without you beside o

It's how I know you got me falling, falling

How I know you got me falling, falling

I know you're treading carefully

'Cause you don't wanna be a scapegoat

Once bitten, twice shy, you dey hear word

I'm treading carefully

'Cause I don't wanna be a scapegoat

Once bitten, twice shy, I dey hear word

I dey hear word, oh-ah

I hope you don't come running

Hope you don't come running home

When you see somebody

When you see somebody new

I hope you don't come running

Hope you don't come running home

When you see somebody

When you see somebody new
