Shirley, my Shirley
Seven years, baby girl

Seven years we dey together, no wahala
Your papa, your mama, dem say I get double life
But Shirley, you know the truth inside your heart
I no fit lose you like this, e too much
Yes, I get situation at home, abi I lie?
But what we get na real, na true thing
Don't scatter everything we build all this time
Abeg, my love, make we find another way

Just be my friend, my darling
Make we try again gradually, abi?

To see another man when love you the way I love you I dey fear me they're not playing with you
