Fireboy DML – KILOWI Lyrics
[Chorus]
Kilowi?
What’d you say?
What’s the point if you’ll just leave anyway?
Mo ro pe koselomi
So what changed?
Do you love it when I beg you to stay?
Why is it so easy for you to say?
Why is it so easy for you to say?
Kilowi?
What’d you say?
[Verse 1]
Did I ever not give enough?
Did I ever not give a fuck?
Seems we’re going to the same place
We’re not just on the same train
And now my head
Spinning out of control
How could I let you go?
Mo ti n fagbo
You’re so close
Yet you’re so far
[Chorus]
Kilowi?
What’d you say?
What’s the point if you’ll just leave anyway?
Mo ro pe koselomi
So what changed?
Do you love it when I beg you to stay?
Why is it so easy for you to say?
Why is it so easy for you to say?
Kilowi?
What’d you say?
[Bridge]
Uhhhhhh-uhhhh-uhh
Uhhhhhh-uhhhh-uhh
Uhhhhhh-uhhhh-uhh
Uhhhhhh-uhhhh, uhhhh
[Verse 2]
From the first night
Yeah, it felt right
It’s been a long time
Wey you hold me for mind
In my defence
It’s been six days since
Since when I felt safe
I think I’m obsessed
Pay attention
To this next one
Last question
Will I ever get that chance?
I don sing song
Eyan Celine Dion
I beg your pardon
When will it be my turn?
T’aba ni k’a so’oto
T’aba ni k’a fa tan
T’aba ni ka faa ja
O ma daru, oh
O de saanu, oh
‘Cause I’ve been losing, losing my mind
[Chorus]
Kilowi?
What’d you say?
What’s the point if you’ll just leave anyway?
Mo ro pe koselomi
So what changed?
Do you love it when I beg you to stay?

[Verse 3]
Baby, my arms are wide open
As long as you’re ready, I’m rolling
Did I just hear you calling my name?
Did I just hear you asking to stay?
In my heart and my soul, yes, I know it
You’re my moon, you’re my sun, you’re my soulmate
Did I just hear you call out my name?
Kilowi?
