(Oya, listen to me now)
(See gobe, I no fit sleep)
(Ehen, ah-ah, na true talk)
I sit down dey look the ceiling fan spinning round
My head dey scatter, silence be the loudest sound
I remember the tears when you turn and you walk away
I was blinded by shadows, I didn't see the light of day
My own paddy come tell me story, say you no be real
I carry am for head, I forgot how to feel
I was too blind to see his envy was the poison brew
Now I stand here alone, wishing I was back with you
It wasn't my intention to make you cry, my dear
I let the words of a fake friend make me disappear
My heart dey heavy, see the mistake I don commit
I miss your laughter, I miss the way we used to fit
Oh, it wasn't my intention to make you sad
You are the best thing that I ever had
He was jealous of the spark, the way we dey glow
He planting seeds of wahala, trying to steal the show
I look into the mirror, I see a fool standing there
I let the bitterness of another man cause you despair
Shey you dey whine me, why I let him play my mind?
Leaving the love of my life, leaving my peace behind
I no dulling no more, I dey clear the smoke away
I just want to hold you, make everything okay
It wasn't my intention to make you cry, my dear
I let the words of a fake friend make me disappear
My heart dey heavy, see the mistake I don commit
I miss your laughter, I miss the way we used to fit
Oh, it wasn't my intention to make you sad
You are the best thing that I ever had
Can you forgive the man that was lost in the dark?
I want to fan back to life this dying spark
No more room for the enemy, no more room for lies
I only want to see the sunshine in your eyes
It wasn't my intention to make you cry, my dear
I let the words of a fake friend make me disappear
My heart dey heavy, see the mistake I don commit
I miss your laughter, I miss the way we used to fit
Oh, it wasn't my intention to make you sad
You are the best thing that I ever had
(No dulling baby)
I see it now, I see the truth
My love for you, it remains the root
(E don do, I no go fall again)
(Just come back home)
(Oya, peace be unto us)
