Nao Messy Love

It’s been roughly three years since the release of NAO’s last album, Saturn. The critically acclaimed album remained one of the best R&B albums of that year but a follow-up hasn’t arrived yet. The singer was living life, recently giving birth to her first child in 2020. Even still, she shared a few songs to hold fans over until she was ready to pop out again.

This week, NAO came through with her latest drop, and the second single of the year, “Messy Love.” The London singer offers a song reflecting on the hardships of relationships while emphasizing the need for self-love.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Said, are you worried?
I’ll feel the same if I let you in
Tell me you noticed then I’ll be to blame
If I can’t forgive (Can’t forgive)

[Pre-Chorus]
Said I can’t lie, said I can’t lie
Said I can’t waste my mind
Not even this time (This time, this time)
Said I won’t break, said I won’t break
Said I won’t change my ways
Not even this time (Time, time, time)

[Chorus]
‘Cause no one wants fool’s love
That kind of messy love (Love)
‘Cause I don’t want no love
That kind of messy love (Love)

[Verse 2]
It’s you and me only, yeah
I can’t be persuaded to open out
Everybody’s pent up and scarred with broken hearts (Heart)
And I don’t wanna go back there (ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
So I’m saying goodbye, I’m saying goodbye
I won’t even change my mind (Change my mind)
Not even this time (Time, time)
Said I won’t stay, said I won’t stay
Said I won’t break, no way
Not even this time (Time)

[Chorus]
‘Cause no one wants fool’s love
That kind of messy love (Love)
‘Cause I don’t want no love
That kind of messy love (Love)
Messy love

[Bridge]
Gotta heal
Gotta see me do my thing
Gotta stay here next to me
Gotta protect my energy
I’ll get on
Fall out of love and get on
Oh, darling, yeah (yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]
‘Cause no one wants fool’s love
That kind of messy love (love)
‘Cause I don’t want no love
That kind of messy love (love)
(That kind of love, don’t want that kind of love, no)
‘Cause no one wants fool’s love
That kind of messy love (love)
(Don’t want no kind of love, love)
‘Cause I don’t want no love
That kind of messy love
(Messy love, messy love)

[Outro]
‘Cause no one wants fool’s love
That kind of messy love (Love)
Want no love
That kind of messy, messy love
Oh, oh, oh
