Maybe we could go slow

Maybe we can stay young

Every single day, I'm with you

You remind me of the good times

Truly lovely, and truly know me, your body so wicked

Babygirl, you're wild

Come, make I spoil you with a different style

No limit on the weekend, wey them go dey find you

Sọji, sọji, sọji, sọji, sọji, sọji

Make you dey follow my lead, love

Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey

You should be falling on me, love

Take GLE, just to show you e sweet like this

For me, the things that you do, make me feel say I need you, perfect type of woman
