Beginning to think I don’t need another lover
Found you today I don’t wanna go back
I don’t want to be with a Casanova
Yes I yes I will never ever
Forgive if you do the least
I will find another
Why do you want to leave when you know it’s you you ou ou
But there is something about you I need
Baby I wake up with you in my dreams
I for dey sing you some Alicia Keys
Please
Baby hmm
And now I know that I can never love another nigga
It’s you and I forever baby this’s now or never
Forget the issues now we cool
M’akoma mu wodin bɔ mu
I know we meant to spend the rest of life together baby
The day you wore the brown outfit
Was when I knew I had fallen
Without you I don’t know if I can breathe again or feel again I’m worried
Wosa wosa na hwana ne ba
Beginning to think I don’t need another lover
Found you today I don’t wanna go back
I don’t want to be with a Casanova
Yes I yes I will never ever
Forgive if you do the least I will find another
Why do you want to leave when you know it’s you you ou ou
But there is something about you I need
Baby I wake up with you in my dreams
I for dey sing you some Alicia Keys
Please
Baby hmm
Sankofa deɛ yɛnpɛ ey yah
