Lyrics
[Intro]
Another banger
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Bad gyal, mi wan trade unto ya
[Verse 1]
Gyal, blazing, gyal, ten, gyal, A-list
And her waist is figure-eight, she put the work in
Change your life, six-figure, she deserve it
Got girlies around the world but she my favourite
4:30 in the morning thinking about you
And about your archy, body-ody-ody-ody
Girl makeup always too slick, no caking
E get the way you dey, demeanour angelic
[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, hold my hand, girl, time is running out (Yeah, time is running)
Time is running out (Yeah, time is running)
Girl, let’s make it count
This love affair got me living in the clouds (Yeah, living in the—)
Living in the clouds
Please, don’t let me down
[Chorus]
(Something about you)
There’s something about you girl, ooh, there’s something about you (There’s something about you)
There’s something about you girl, ooh, there’s something about you (Something about you)
There’s something about you girl, ooh, there’s something about you (There’s something about you)
Something about you girl, ooh, there’s something about you
[Verse 2]
Mi wan give you love and attention (Ha-ah)
Mi respect this our affiliation (Ha-ah)
Anytime you pass, you got man’s brows raising, eh-eh
Mandem plotting ’cause they wan take you from me
If we run am on a low, shey, you go vex?
Mi no like to show off for the internet
I take your matter personal from day one to the end
Mi want your loving and caress
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, hold my hand (Hold my hand), girl, time is running out (Yeah, time is running)
Time is running out (Yeah, time is running)
Girl, let’s make it count (Count)
This love affair got me living in the clouds (Yeah, living in the—)
Living in the clouds (Living in the clouds)
Please, don’t let me down
[Chorus]
(Something about you)
There’s something about you girl (Ooh), ooh, there’s something about you (There’s something about you)
There’s something about you girl, ooh, there’s something about you (Something about you)
There’s something about you girl, ooh, there’s something about you (There’s something about you)
Something about you girl, ooh, there’s something about you (Something about you)
