ÉMAKIYA WÓMINÉ
(Intro)
Oh yeah…
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know it’s painful?
It’s hurting me…
Yeah, yeah…
(Verse 1)
I gave you my heart, I gave you my all
I stood by your side whenever you call
But lately, my love, you’re changing your ways
You’re here with me, but your heart’s far away
I smile in the daytime, but I cry at night
Trying to understand why we’re not alright
I never wanted to fight, I only wanted love
But every little word cuts me like a knife
Pre-Chorus
Tell me, what did I do?
Why are you treating me so?
If love is still living in you
Then why are you letting me go?
(CHORUS)
Don't you know it's painful?
It's hurting me!
Oh, baby, can't you see?
You're hurting me!
Émakiya wóminé!
Iyàwómio!
Émakiya wóminé!
Iyàwómio!
Don't break my heart, no, no, no!
Don't let our love go, go, go!
If you love me, let me know!
Émakiya wóminé! Iyàwómio!(2x)
(Verse 2)
Love is a living thing, it needs to grow
It needs a little water, it needs to flow
But our love is standing, stuck in one place
And every day I see it fading away
I don’t need perfection, I don't need gold
I just need a heart that will never let go
If something is broken, let’s sit and repair
Don’t leave me alone when I’m already there
Pre-Chorus
Tell me, what did I do?
Why are you treating me so?
If love is still living in you
Then why are you letting me go?
(CHORUS)
Don't you know it's painful?
It's hurting me!
Oh, baby, can't you see?
You're hurting me!
Émakiya wóminé!
Iyàwómio!
Émakiya wóminé!
Iyàwómio!
Don't break my heart, no, no, no!
Don't let our love go, go, go!
If you love me, let me know!
Émakiya wóminé! Iyàwómio!(2x

(Outro)
Oh, baby, don't let it die…
Love needs attention, love needs care…
If you still love me, meet me halfway…
Émakiya wóminé…
Iyàwómio…
Yeah… it's hurting me…
