Falling, falling for you

Falling, for you (Representing Stefflon Don to the world)

Falling, for you

Pretty girl, you're taking your time

Why you do me like this?

You know me loving your whine

Pretty girl, you're giving me signs

Then you tell me you don't want me

Can you make up you mind?

Pretty girl, you're taking your time

Why you do me like this?

You know me loving your whine

Pretty girl, you're giving me signs

Then you tell me you don't want me

Can you make up you mind?

Me a gwan tan tuddy pon di buddy

When mi deh a Greenwich Farm

Rema bawl fi di sumn weh mek man run inna storm

From nineteen how long him a pree mi

Pretty face, and me eye dem dreamy

Mi nuh deady deady pon di sumn when me ride it

Quint mi position pon di back and me nuh slide it

Never get a love inna him life weh did like this

(Love inna him life weh did like this)

Love when you, love when you hold me

Baby, don't control me

Just know I run the town and all these bruddas wan' know me

Said they gon' do me but they never do me

Just copped the bust down

So make a brudda try fool me

Pretty girl, you're taking your time

Why you do me like this?

You know me loving your whine

Pretty girl, you're giving me signs

Then you tell me you don't want me

Can you make up you mind?

Pretty girl, you're taking your time

Why you do me like this?

You know me loving your whine

Pretty girl, you're giving me signs

Then you tell me you don't want me

Can you make up you mind?

Falling, falling for you

Falling for you

Falling for you

Cry me a river, but I hope you don't drown

Better be careful what you say outta your mouth

You know it ain't never safe when I'm around

They said bad girls never do no good, good

Got, got it, got it all

These diamonds on me, yeah, they fall

Slow down

Babe, I got racks up on racks up, they don't flow down

Love when you, love when you hold me

Just know I run the town and all these bruddas wan' know me

Said they gon' do me but they never do me
