[Verse 1]
Fibadi yen ṣe mi le ṣe, so I had to open up
I dey go through things, it’s complicated
But you’re the one for me, oh
You sabi play when you whine waist, you go take money, oh
You just dey whine me, it’s complicated how I feel for you, oh
[Chorus]
Oh, Paloma, I’m alone now
In the corner, holdin’ back my tears as he holds ya
But the last drink that I ordered, it ain’t sweet like rum & soda
Your hands are on his shoulders
It should have been me, not the other
Other way ’round, all week I’m a monster
Don’t show him the things I showed ya
[Post-Chorus]
Please, don’t show him the things I showed ya
Don’t show him the things I showed ya
Just don’t show him the things I showed ya
Don’t show him the things-
[Verse 2]
Ojogbon professor
Me I no like bo ṣe soro si mi, kó leave literature
You’re a smooth criminal
I bought you this, I bought you this, sare wa gba ko gbéni wa
It is partial, you know, I’m demolishing emotions I’m feeling ’cause I built it up for you
Ojogbon professor
Me I no like bo ṣe soro si mi, you should know
[Chorus]
Oh, Paloma, I’m alone now
In the corner, holding back my tears as he holds ya
But the last drink that I ordered, it ain’t sweet like rum & soda
Your hands are on his shoulders
It should have been me, not the other
Other way ’round all week, I’m a monster
Don’t show him the things I showed ya
[Post-Chorus]
Please, don’t show him the things I showed ya
No show him the things I showed ya
Just no show him the things I showed ya
Don’t show him the things
